Driven to Madness: How cars are ruining our lives

Cars are making us unhappy and unhealthy. From poor air quality, to mind numbing commutes and gridlocked city centres. Can anything be done to change car culture – or are we already on a highway to hell? Ros Taylor sits down with journalist and author of Carmageddon, Daniel Knowles, to discuss the rise of automobiles and asks if it’s too late to course correct. 

• “The problem to the average driver isn’t you, it’s everything else. ”
• “I think the car industry likes the idea of reducing civilian deaths without slowing down cars.”
