Of course not everyone can take their car to the city center every day. It's physically impossible. We agree that the vast majority of people won't, we agree that there are still enough people doing it (very few, but many nevertheless) to create congestion and other problems.

You can defend that charges, restrictions and other disuasory measures are a good solution to diminish the use of private vehicles and its impact. But it doesn't make sense to say that those people have no reason to drive in central London unless they are paid to do so.

Sure, “little” would have been a better term to use but the context of my post was well established. If your only quibble was the use of that solitary word then you’re being pointlessly pedantic.

Note that I was not replying to you in my first comment, I was replying to esotericn's "interpretation" of your comment as people not acting as rational utilitarian beings when they drive in London.
