Well known author on motoring subjects James Ruppert has published a very good paper on the subject of The War on the Car. It explains how the irrational attacks on private cars have developed over the years with the latest Net Zero policies exacerbating the trend. Net Zero means absolute zero access to personal transportation. That’s indeed the point: keeping the plebs in their rightful place, namely the bus stop, the author says.

It’s all so unnecessary and is driven by financial motives primarily rather than safety or environmental issues. Indeed Government policies have generally led to unintended negative consequences (such as the promotion of diesel vehicles to reduce CO2 emissions which has had to be reversed).

This paper is certainly worth reading if you want to learn how we got into the current mess. Click here to download: https://www.netzerowatch.com/content/uploads/2023/11/Ruppert-War-on-the-Car.pdf
