That's certainly not how it worked in my case, it took about 4 years for me to transition from driving everywhere, to starting to ride places, to finally reaching the point where the car became a needless expense.

If any future documentary producers are reading this: perhaps you could feature both a family doing the car-free experiment, but also follow someone who has already successfully gone car-free? That would allow the documentary to show both the difficulties that follow making the switch, as well as some of the solutions.
