"From 1997 when we came in, you guys and the public bought seven million more cars. You didn't get rid of the second car, did you? So what is happening is the growth of cars on the motorway"

- John Prescott

About this Quote

John Prescott is referring to the growth of cars on the motorway since 1997. He is recommending that the general public has actually not gotten rid of their second car, as the variety of vehicles on the motorway has actually increased by seven million because 1997. This suggests that the public has not reduced their dependence on cars and trucks, and that the number of cars on the freeway is continuing to grow. This might be due to a variety of aspects, such as an increase in population, or a boost in the number of people who own automobiles. It might also be due to a lack of public transport alternatives, or an absence of investment in public transportation infrastructure. Whatever the cause, it is clear that the number of vehicles on the freeway is continuing to increase.
