This government's transport policy, as with all post-war governments in the UK, is overwhelmingly car focused. Where on earth did you get the idea that driving is discouraged?

@SunshineGirl The Environment Act 2021, The Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023, The Transport Decarbonisation Plan (2021 Policy), and The Traffic Management Act 2004.

@Therealsteve Point to one clause that explicitly discourages driving.

Meanwhile, taxpayer subsidies of £4,000 are available to buy new electric cars. I wouldn't mind having £4,000 to spend on my rail travel.
