The rest of us fall somewhere with in that range.

And where does carlight start?

Is a person car light when they drive to work or take a taxi 5 days a week? Probably not ... but maybe, if they don't use a car at all on weekends and if they walk/cycle to run all their errands.

But what if they only drive or take a taxi 3 days a week? Is that car light? Or 2 days a week?

And at the other end ... what if a person does not own a vehicle and does not take rides in a motor vehicle of any sort. Is that person carfree? Maybe. But what if that person gets deliveries a few times a year? Still carfree .... or not?


There will never be an agreed upon definition of carfree ... nor should their be.
