Hello everyone

This is a call for some assistance in researching an article for the next
Car Busters magazine.

I wish to do a feature focussing on children and car addiction - with the
idea to look at some of the factors behind the idea that children are
already addicted to cars before the age of 6 years.

What causes addiction? So far i am planning to look at issues around the
school run and how kids are transported in cars so don't realise you can
walk!
I would like, if possible, to have statistics or information about cars and
trunks and "car culture" within childrens tv programmes - does anyone know
if this information exists?
I would also like to look at childrens toys, and how they play with/see cars
and so are indoctrinated into car culture before they ever smell a flower in
a forest...

I would love it very much if anyone can help me to find information about
children and cars, how soon they get addicted, why and how. if you have any
other ideas for how kids are indoctrinated into car culture that I ought to
follow up on, please tell me those too!

Please email carbusters@...
thank you very much
Debbie
