Hardly surprising. Where's the appeal of driving when you spend so much more of your time stuck in nose-to-tail traffic jams and breathing fumes? The "open road" is either hundreds of miles away or something you ask your parents about. Insurance is becoming unaffordable for youngsters. Fuel is near £5 a gallon. People do most of their shopping online and the supermarket delivers, so there's no weekly need of the car like there once was. Twenty years ago you pretty much needed a car just for the weekly groceries. So one of the key motivators has gone. You're left transporting with toddler age children as one of the key motivators, so you can delay getting one until you're thinking about having a family. As we're having families later and later in life... A car is simply no longer something as desirable as it once was.
