UK Inches Closer To Eliminating Private Car Ownership​

UK Government Transport Minister Trudy Harrison recently spoke at a mobility conference, addressing the future of personal mobility. In her comments, she said it was necessary to ditch the "20th-century thinking centred around private vehicle ownership and towards greater flexibility, with personal choice and low carbon shared transport." That’s right, she said the quiet part loud and showed the hand of a growing number of government officials.

Harrison went on to praise not only public transportation but also bike share services, e-scooters, and ride sharing platforms. All of these are supposed to tune down how much carbon the UK is emitting into the atmosphere. As with all choices, this comes at a cost, particularly for those living in rural areas.

I’ve been calling out the elitist plan in some government circles to eliminate the private ownership of cars for some time. For many, the possibility that such a thing could be real leads to their minds lashing out at the source of such news, and so I’ve been called a “crazy conspiracy theorist” among other things for trying to shed light on this disturbing topic. Well, time has vindicated my stance and people in the UK are starting to wake up to the very real possibility they would be completely dependent on the government to be driven anywhere.

If you think this plan is limited to just the UK, you haven’t been paying attention. There have been other efforts to make private vehicle ownership a thing of the past, including a new measure in Southern California. The 2021 Regional Transportation Plan passed recently by the San Diego Association of Government’s board of directors is a $160 billion initiative just for the metropolitan area to boost public transportation.

who gives a shit what they do. Try and tell Americans they have to give up there vehicles, it will instantly put a third of the country on unemployment.

I think this is why they are pushing autonomous cars so hard.

Broken record time....

I hope this comes to the US. I hope they all begin pushing this here.

I'm calling bullshit. How is having to use public transport on their schedule and rules more flexible than using my own car on my timeline and rules? Yeah, it's not. She can go fuck off.

I don’t see this working out well here. It may work over there. What will they ban me from buying a car? Who says I need to share a car to go to the grocery store? Screw that.

They will try to make owning a car out of reach for most folks

Simple. They will mandate half a million dollars of "features" for new cars, including self driving.

Then a few years later they will outlaw driving manually on public roads. You can't be allowed to drive yourself, it's unsafe.

If you can't see that coming, you're not looking.

Definition of ashamed. Bus load of politicians in a socialist country with two empty seats.
