Letters: The decline in the UK of young people taking to the wheel is encouraging, says Bruce Ross-Smith, cars are blighting everything, says Susan Woodford, and David Halley sees an urgent need to get rid of them

I hope George Monbiot will be encouraged by the decline in the UK of young people taking to the wheel. In 1992-94, nearly half of 17- to 20-year-olds had a driving licence. By 1994 that figure had fallen to 29% – and many of those young people without a licence will remain non-drivers for life, just as families will also adapt to non-private-car existence. Of course for some, car and vehicle use will be essential for employment, but this will also reduce.

There's less youth taking to wheel because austerity, rising education costs & rising insurance costs are leaving many unable to afford lessons, a car and/or insurance. It's not a conscious change of attitude, it's people getting poorer.
