From Angela Crabtree Reading, Berkshire, UK
Anthony Laverty’s article “Running out of road”, struck a chord with me as someone who hasn’t had a car for most of my adult life and who now has a little Corsa that’s about 15 years old (22 November, p 19).
I think the psychology of driving is something that needs a lot more research, perhaps with an aim to making us less car-centric.
People change when they drive and become arrogant, aggressive and completely ignorant to the fact that they aren’t the best drivers in the world. For walkers and cyclists, it makes for high risk, and for small cars it’s intimidating at times. I’m not a car hater, and I do enjoy driving, but like it is often said, driving is a privilege, not a right.
