When I first kagied "cottaging", I got anonymous gay sex. Then I figured it was a Canada thing and found, "taking vacations to remote cabins during the summer." Please let me know if I have the wrong definition.
Our transportation system and an individual's personal transport should not be designed around solely less than one percent of trips they take a year. This is why car rentals exist.
Ohhh, they weren't talking about the sex in public toilets thing? That must be super embarassing when a Canadian visits the UK!
Sometimes it's both of those things.
I've never claimed that, but the edge cases are important to consider when you're trying to get people to give up their personal cars.
You'll forgive my confusion since you replied to a comment describing a good reason to own a car that most people don't have with a comment about a bad reason to own a car that many people have.
I say it's bad because there are alternatives to every family having a car specifically for the rare weekend trips they take a year
