Someone needs to own a car still.

And that someone can't be available every day when I need to do two school runs and an office trip.

That someone can't always be available when the sink springs a leak and I need to go buy some new washers and plumber's mait.

I really question your life experience at this point. If you're single, childless and living in a big city, sure, cars are very unnecessary. For most people this isn't the case

It's a town of 90k people. The kind of town that the vast majority of people in the UK live in.

Just out of curiosity how can you transport something large and bulky, that isn't allowed on public transport, let's say furniture, or the remains of a shed you dismantled or any one of a hundred inconvenient loads that occur during your life without a car?

Hard to carry a TV on a bicycle, or transport loads to the recycling centre, or drop my kids off at school or any one of a thousand things that occur day to day.

Our world redesigned itself with the invention of cars. Trying to exist without them is very hard for your average family, especially those who live outside cities.

How do you believe women (and men, and NBs) who willingly go into this line of work should be treated?

Look at the MG4, 200 mile range and very competitively priced.

Yeah, because it's a jraphical interface format.

What if they need to transport a load of bricks, or sand, or scaffolding?

I imagine there are more than a few loopholes in the 'no cars' policy.

You understand the egg in this dish is unfertilized, yes?
