You can use a flannel and deodorant coupled with a change of clothes after a more sedate ride? I've never showered after a cycle commute (up to 15 miles and no one's complained)You'd have to convince the nation, and employers that it's ok to stink at work and be uncomfortable. And aren't you retired?! So you don't have a commute, or a school run to do.
Pricing people out of their cars would only work for people with lower income. The richest 30% or so would continue to drive around polluting, whilst most of the working class would have to change habits, possibly to their disadvantage regarding accessing work, which might impact more on social and economical climates even though it's slowing the Earth's rate of decline.
Are these deliberate typos?If I was government bothered about getting re+erected, I would tax cars just enough to keep people using them while taking all the car haters "it's a start, bare with us".
Send like needs to be a change higher up the pecking (pecker?) order.
VED on ebikes too.

I'll just call it road tax instead of VED. Right now, e-cars have very little or zero road tax due to low pollution status. In the future, when there will be a lot more e-cars, what excuses will the govt use to increase road tax?
My guesses are:
1. Batteries are harmful to environment.
2. The tyres wearing out cause harm
3. Congestion charge will be back (the Toxicity Charge will be revamped)
4. If you don't have a space in your house to park the car, you will be charged (we don't want cables everywhere, well, we don't mind it so long as you pay for the privilege)
5. Your car is too long or wide this taking up too much road space, or heavy etc.

Yep, there will never be the investment required to provide suitable public transport to rural communities, the car will remain essential.Cars are a good thing and they are the only convenient mean of transport for families as public transport in the UK is a joke and well overpriced. Until manufacturers come up with a cleaner alternative, this is all we have for now and to fair, cars are much cleaner and a lot more efficient than not so long ago.
Of course there should be more car sharing to reduce impact of roads, congestion and pollution but the car is here to stay.
That’s another misconception, not everyone works in an office, shop, warehouse etc, some people have to travel for their job, some a heck of a lot, & leave from home to go all over the UKStinking at work is the preserve of those who have sweated stagnant in their cars. Those who cycle have a shower before entering the office.
