Why would you like to submit that proposition why you have just agreed that I am right? I live in London and drive a car. I think banning all private cars from London would be incredibly difficult and could well have many of the problems people have suggested in this thread. I don't think anyone would disagree with this. However there is nothing in that article (well, I think actually that is a press release) that suggests anything about forcing people to walk and there is no reason to assume that such a proposal would require this. As such starting of the conversation in this way strikes me as a very misleading way of framing the discussion. As an aside I would be extremely dubiously if most people with mobility issues in London do, in fact, drive at the moment.
