Clint Eastwood was The Man with No Name. My name is Stephen Young and I am The Man with No Car. I gave up my car in 1995 and haven’t owned one since. And before you ask, my wife doesn’t own a car either. Neither do we own a van, or a truck, or anything else with four wheels. Except maybe a sofa, but castors probably don’t count as wheels. So we’re car-free, and our world keeps on turning. Life goes on.

So what happened in 1995? Was I banned for drunk-driving? Was I made redundant? Did I total my car in a crash? Was it taken back by the Repo Man? The answer is “none of the above”: we just decided we didn’t want to own a car any more. This website sets out some of the reasons why not owning a car is a great idea. Think about it.....
