Default Could you survive without a car?

Is it fair to say that we have all become totally reliant on our cars?

Would you be able to survive without a car? How much different do you think the world would be without cars? Do you think we will ever see the demise of the car?

Not a chance. I broke a driveshaft a few weeks ago. Car was off the road for the weekend. Was the longest weekend i've had. Didn't realise how far the shop is from my flat on foot! And the hill coming back is massive.

Long live the car!! I couldn't live without my car anymore...I use it for pretty much every journey. OK, I'm lazy, but I'm sure most people are exactly the same!
