  • The motor car has brought independent freedom of movement to many.
  • It uses large amounts of resources - both in its construction and use.
  • It is a major cause of injury and accidental death.
  • It is a major polluter and a probable cause of asthma and other breathing problems.
  • The number of cars in the world is growing rapidly.
  • Unless we are prepared to spend more on public transport - through investment in infrastructure and lower fares - the car will continue to be the first choice for transport.
