S1E9 NED Millie unexpectedly lived in Joyner about 6 months without a car

Millie found herself unexpectedly car-less and staying with friends for an extented period - all while dealing with a range of issues. What was it like to rely on her bike (which was stolen) and the train service that was an hour's walk from her temporary home? This is part of our Not Everyone Drives series where Wendy chats with people who want transport options that don't include a car.

Trigger warning. We discuss the impact of car collisions between 24m35s and 25m12s. If this might upset you and you're unable to stop and skip the 30s when we discuss this, come back to it another time. It's not a graphic description but it is blunt.

Not Everyone Drives (NED) are conversations with people who don’t drive for any reason. They may have a disability, be on medication, strapped for cash, too young, too old, unlicensed, they had a collision or want to do something else than drive everywhere. This one’s for policymakers to understand the implications of their decisions. 

Road Rules 360 (RR360) cohosted with John Burrill, former TMR subject matter expert for Qld’s road rules. We discuss the road rules for people riding a bike, walking, in a wheelchair or on a scooter or other personal mobility device (PMD).

People & Projects (P&P) are for transport advocates and people who are curious to hear what’s happening globally and locally. These are interviews with academics, advocates and community group leaders.
