David Irwin shared the startling statistic that the average car is only on the move for 4% of the time. RAC report from 2012, but things probably haven’t changed that much https://www.racfoundation.org/research/mobility/spaced-out-perspectives-on-parking. Incredibly expensive and poor use of precious urban space. Lots of other solutions already available - car clubs/car rental for longer journeys, cycling and walking for shorter journeys around Putney, and the unglamourous but fantastically useful shopping trolley. |
