Right, but ideally only people who genuinely need to use cars do so, which would include situations like yours. But not:

• Commutes to office jobs
• Errands that people could easily walk or cycle to if it was safe and convenient
• Visits to friends and family
• Groceries, restaurants, etc
• Traveling to most towns and cities

In that world, there would be a lot less traffic and you would get to your job a lot quicker. And the rest of us won’t be tethered to an expensive object that is only required because of bad government policy. But I get that during that transition there will be some teething pains, and sometimes governments will get it wrong, and it’s unfortunate that it has affected you. Ultimately though, it’s very much a necessary change.
