I don't think anything should be done to encourage driving.

Automobiles are among the very worst of human inventions, right up there with napalm, handguns, and atomic weapons.

If there were no roads suitable for automobiles then nobody would have them. I think this would be a good thing.

I suspect I'm not in the lower left corner of GliderGuider's box, I've gnawed away the corner and escaped into my own imaginary world.
