<p>In response to: We need less car dependency, not more road capacity</p>
<p>Roy Fiander asks in his previous comment on the Guildford Dragon NEWS: “Is Mr. Varns a driver? If so, isn’t he a pot calling the kettle black? “</p>
<p>Well, no, I am not.</p>
<p>I saw the devastating effects of auto addiction when I moved to Winchester University 20 years ago. Students were strongly advised not to bring a car and I could walk anywhere or use public transport when working (field work covering an area of Southampton – Portsmouth).</p>
<p>It was then that I made the decision not to drive for as long as possible and to be part of a system that I believe is undermining society and the environment. It should be possible to live in an urban area without a car, and I still live by that principle (at Guildford).</p>
<p>Yes, it is inconvenient at times, but with better public transportation and active travel systems, it can become a reality for more people.</p>
<p>If you think about it, cars dominate almost every aspect of our lives, whether we are drivers or not. The government must take this seriously. We also know that in addition to the significant health effects of breathing toxic air, car use is closely linked to obesity, which costs the NHS (and therefore taxpayers) billions each year.</p>
