Drivers are very much aware of how much time they spend in their cars. However you can safely presume that for whatever reason, they’ve decided that the benefits outweigh the costs. Everybody’s free to decide how they want to live their life, but it’s incredibly condescending to presume that just because somebody makes different choices, that they must be entirely ignorant to their own life experiences. This isn’t coming from somebody who commutes in a car either. My decision to do that has meant some benefits for me, but those come at the cost of other benefits I no longer enjoy.
