Rachel / Australia 
Is it important for you to have a car?
Hi, my name's Rachel, and I'm from Australia. My question is, is it important for you to have a car?
So, where I live at the moment, there is a lot of public transport, so having a car is not a huge thing for me. Obviously it would be nice if I had the option to drive around, could be a bit easier, but no. Overall, as long as I have good public transport, it doesn't affect my life that much, and it's actually better for the environment, so I'm okay with it.
