"Driving will be seen as a privilege, which is a very bad message."

Hmmm...what else should driving be considered if not a privelege? An unalienable right?

If only the rich can drive for a while, then we might see the masses begin to use their voting power to level the playing field by pushing in the other direction...maybe by mandated driving-free zones in congested cities.

I thought that would be misinterpreted. I meant that driving would be seen as something only the privileged can do.
