We live in an area of London with good public transport and have never owned a car. We have two children. I am frequently surprised at how much driving my otherwise green friends do, particularly as they often seem stressed by parking fines, aggressive drivers, being used a s a taxi service by their own and others' children, having to cut things short because the meter's about to run out etc etc. My life feels so much simpler, yet they regard me as odd and feel sorry for me. I therefore never go out of my way to tell people we don't own a car but if any green-leaning mumsnetters are curious about how it's done - please ask. Also I'd love to share experiences with other non-driving families as I know very few.
