I'm all for banning cars but what exceptions exist and how could they be codified into law while preventing abuse (fedia.io)

For example people with jobs that require carrying a lot of equipment: plumbers, electricians, roofers, etc. . We don't want everybody to suddenly "be a roofer"

as we reach that point we also will have made the roads so oriented around cycling, walking and public transit that FUCK that cars will be the least desirable option. See cities with big metros like NYC, London and Tokyo if you need more evidence that this works; the car part of the city is chock full, and the public side of transport is favoured by more(?) people

That does actually make sense. Making it so that cars are the worst option, could actually even stop the worst of our kind from even wanting to drive them in cities and towns. Villages might be more difficult, I imagine.
