Not at all I have a car my wife has a car we enjoy days out in the car.
The
continentals actually have higher levels of car ownership, just they use
them less.

Can you give details of that lower car use than the UK ?

Does anyone quote the sopurce of facts in this NG but anyway

this makes part of the point

about modal split.

The claim that a higher proportion of journeys is by car,
even if true, does not show that there is higher car use.

The rest of the point was in the broadsheets, however it is repeated here
for your enjoyment.

I can't see anything there about levels of car use.
