As Jason said in the Not Just Bikes, Every Reason to Hate Cars (39:10), video: Everybody hates other people's cars; we either don't have one, or don't make an exception for our own.

Because of this, people who like driving should support every policy that diminishes the number of other cars on the road.

I love driving, and I support most policies like this.

Give me more public transport, more better separate bike roads (especially wider separate bike roads), remove level crossings. And increase fuel tax to pay for it!

I am 100% serious.

I live in one of the municipalities in Sweden with the lowest tax rate, and I'd gladly pay more as there have been several articles about how special needs students won't get their legally mandated assistance. That is disgraceful. I needed special assistance when I grew up, now as a fully functioning adult, I want to make sure that the next generation also gets the same or better help.

The same goes for public transport, pedestrian and bike infrastructure, it should always get better, not worse, and I am willing to pay my fair share for it.
