Introduction

The Four Wheel Detox is a forthcoming book about what your car is doing - not to the environment and the world outside the car, but to you, inside the car - how owning and using a car means being more overweight, more unhealthy and more stressed. Having less cash and less time. And maybe living a shorter life.

The book sets out how to do a Four Wheel Detox, what you need to know about why taking the four wheels out of your life is a better alternative.

Elsewhere on this site are some extracts from a chapter in the book about Carfree Choosers - some individuals, like Dave Gorman, describe why they have undergone a four wheel detox and taken the car out of their life. Others, like Alistair McGowan, talk about why they have never owned a car, and never want to.

To get real about car addiction, to find out more about the reasons for taking the Four Wheel Detox, and for more information about the ideas behind the book, please see:
