lots of studies have proved that rewarding good behaviour in the long term is much more effective that punishing bad behaviour but of course people that own cars should also be taxed more(and the money given to non drivers)

maybe, if they are walking or riding a bike as an alternative. but if they are just being lazy bums and inconveniencing all their friends by begging rides, then they should get a job and get their own car.

When I was growing up the government encouraged car ownership and wanted everyone to own a car. Now, all of a sudden, I am a bad guy just because I've done what HMG wanted me to do. As for rewarding folk for not owning a car...well they already are being rewarded as the government let them off with all the tax car owners have to pay. None of this will mean a thing in a few years as the oil will have gone a car ownership along with it.

Why not? I am a driver and would rather see my cash going to non drivers than the government......in fact, if the law did change and non-drivers were given £500 a year, I may even be persuaded to give up my car!!

no! and the reason is, i pay enough tax already, and maybe it would be good idea if public transport was more realible and cheaper, pubilc transport at the moment is as good as useless and for me its actually cheaper to run a car than get a train or bus

thts hardly fair! yes i agree those who have forsaken cars should be applauded but tht is no reason to tax those who use them- as not every1 uses cars for pure plasure n they might be doing other things for conservation! u don know wot they are or aren't doing!

Dont talk rubbish.I cant even be bothered to offer an explanation to such a ridiculous suggestion.40 % of my wages already get taken off me for tax,plus car tax.How much tax do you pay ?

God no! There are enough self-righteous anti car morons already, never mind rewarding them as well.

Good idea but may be cheaper to make cars illegal
