    If he walked then he’d realise how dangerous carbrained roads were and maybe be a bit more supportive of bicycle lanes and pedestrian roads.

    1 km can be walked in 10 min. A car is an extreme waste of time and money for that.

      It seems like he’s suffering under the system and not enjoying it. I don’t think he’s saying he likes driving. People who drive cars like that usually do it out of necessity not the desire to drive.
