<div>Hi I'm Anna Semlyen, 30 years a transport activist. Author of traffic reduction practical guide Cutting Your Car Use.  An easy read guide in the Green Books series. With cartoons by Axel Sheffler.
</div>
<div>Due to the urgent <strong>Climate Emergency</strong> I aim to pitch a digital give away free edition of Cutting Your Car Use to <strong>ALL motorists</strong>. To the Department for Transport via DVLA emails. Radical and possible.
</div>
<div><strong>Why? </strong>Oil demand is 27% for private car driving.  Approx 60% of its mileage is avoidable if drivers/councils/companies could think and pursue other options. Plus its safer and less polluting at lower speed limits.
</div>
<div><strong>Book background</strong>. First published 2000, last updated 2012 with editions in Welsh, USA and ebook. Sold 145,000 copies bulk buy to councils/compaines mainly as give aways in Green Books series. Austerity kicked in and councils ran out of money.  
</div>
