I dont think I’ve ever seen anyone say all personal vehicles should be banned, and I would assume dedicated carers would be bottom of the list of people to discourage from driving them.
But there is still always this refrain of “what about disabled people who need to drive” whenever nudging people away from cars to public transport is brought up. I dont mean that as a dig at you personally, but it is a noticable pattern.
I think a lot of people, including myself would like for public transport to be so good that people chose public transport whenever possible. I live opposite a school and most parents that drive their children to school absolutely don’t need to, so a world without that would be optimal. But there’s always going to be edge cases that require supporting.
Funnily enough, I just got back from my daily walk and while strolling, there was an aged car spewing black smoke. It’s things like that why, though it’s only a stop gap solution, I support stop gap solutions like this. Get old trash off the road.
I am in fact! But even there I dont see people saying all cars banned at all times for everyone (though you might get people who want to ban cars from some places or at certain times).
I just get a feeling that people (again, not you personally) raise up “what about disabled drivers” when they actually think “I dont care about public transport and this would inconvenience my driving slightly”.
