Nowhere near 90% of cars in city centers, where all these bans are taking place, fit that description.

It sure looks like it on my commute. Maybe your city is different.

There are two people "obviously" disabled in my workplace of circa 400. One of them walks to maintain their fitness from a cleverly chosen home in a town of just over 100K. The other drives. Nearly everyone else drives for lifestyle reasons.

Most people do not need to drive. It is a selfish, ultimately stupid choice they have made.

90% seems like a reasonable guess to me.
