That is not the case today as good second-hand cars are available cheaply, and all that is needed once bought is a driving licence, an MOT and insurance. Every young man and woman would like their own set of wheels if they could afford them. In my own case it was a works van and my father’s car on special occasions - all better than public transport.
I am, etc.
