   Once again you got it right!   
      
   We are sold the idea of the freedom of the car, but never freedom from the car.   
      
   It's all a myth of course:   
      
   Myth: The motor car is the ultimate freedom machine   
      
   Fact: The 'freedom' promised by the motor car is largely illusory. In the   
   1950s, when roads were empty and people had a choice of alternatives, there   
   might have been something to it. Not so today when car use is compulsory for   
   most of the population and    
   usually involves sitting in traffic jams.

   In other words, freedom from freedom is right.
