Absolutely, it's madness. I've only been driving since I turned 40, but have never enjoyed it. Here's the thing, I actually did more traveling without a car. Originally cars were marketed as "freedom", but that is now laughable, they're a hindrance – unless you need a vehicle for disability reasons. As an able-bodied person I feel "freer" using my own feet or using public transport.
It's a travesty. As per the article, capitalism is the cause and despite living in the UK and benefiting from it, I'm under no illusions that the current system has a finite lifespan. What replaces it that doesn't create other though, I don't think the human race has the answer on that one.
