After watching the initiative in Marlow on the programme yesterday I wondered. How/Why do you use your car?

 

edit: This was no car day, and the realisation that lots of local people used their car because it was there, not because it was necessary. :)

I suppose I use it to make my life easier. Its a tool in a sense, its available as and when you need it. I sometimes wonder if pay a you go charges for driving would reduce car use. WHat tangibile benefit is there for me to get on a bus to go to Meadowhall for example? Its cheaper to drive, and I don't have to wait in the cold with my bags (shopping bags, not eye bags!) No doubt somebody will point out the environmental impact which I ackowledge, but if you are willing to pay for the privilege of a car you should use it.

Or even use public transport. I know not everyone is as lucky as me and has a tram route on the doorstep but if they have it is mega reliable, regular and warm :)

I use mine to do 90+ mile round trip to and from work, to visit customers, run work errands, visit friends and relations anywhere in the country. I am going to France and Spain in one of them next month, I go on drives out at the weekend, sometimes I go out driving just for the sake of it because I like it, although I don't like it as much as I used. Environment, not bothered about it and that woman last night got on my wotsits.
