Arms race

Have you notice the arms race on our roads?

1. Walking - takes too long, too many cars in the way, playing in the streets, nah, not allowed!
2. Cycling - too dangerous, I might get wet, look silly etc etc
3. Car - good, safe
4. Bigger car - even gooder and safer, bigger is better - doubles as status symbol too, the Jones' will envy me, yay! Might is right!

Legs and brains are not required for the road's arms race. Where will this cold war end?
