The reaction of many motorists(inside) on a small traffic-reducing measures is enormous. It must not, under any circumstances, less Parking, and certainly not a road to be decelerated. Cycling paths? Only when driving does not restrict, etc. The Outcry is large, and the debates are heated up aggressively, as it was about Living. Driving a car is addictive? R. K.

On this question there is no simple answer, because “driving a car is” no single subject. No matter in what Form someone’s Heroin is consumed, the result is inevitably addiction is heroin regardless of how serious this Addiction the life of an addict and how disastrous the (social) side effects.
the Same cannot be said of driving a car. Cars can be cult worshipped, and you can help in a rush of speed; you can use the car but also as a means of transport, which allows one to commute from by public transport is poorly developed place in which to work – without a great deal of pleasure from the only reason to shorten his commute to work daily to an hour. (If you live in the German province, from the hour is also a good time for three hours.)
you have right, though, that there are these reactions of motorists*the interior of the limitations of your – well, let’s call it so be it – FREEDOM. But the times of a self-evident equation of car and the freedom are gone so how the smoke at the end of the Marlboro Cowboy. Who will be driving today, the car its self is defended, is now more likely to be in a similar manufacturing situation as the sport shooter, who argued against stricter gun laws. Or the smoker who insists to be allowed in a Restaurant Smoking again.
The car is not easy the transport of the future – as little as the flight taxi. It has become in our cities dysfunctional. The Wide Missouri and the Depths of Brandenburg, it is still useful; in Zurich, New York and Tokyo, it tends to be a burden.
this fool was the excitement about the actual or “car-hostile” measures. I don’t like about this “SUV drivers have a small dick”-polemics. Not only because it puts the driver in the interior of the SUV implicitly, you would have a penis envy (envy on a small Penis? Really?); but to explain because it means a completely superfluous psychologization of transport policy – such as driving a car to Addiction. Even if THE EVOLUTION would have to have implanted a motorist-Gen – what good is it if the poor Gen can’t find a Parking space?
