Your stubborness is now starting to make you look like a bit of a dick.
Here's a little number for you to chew over.
" Driving remains the dominant method of travel to work in Australia, according to new data from the 2016 Census of Population and Housing, which counted 69 per cent of the working population (over 6.5 million people) commuting by car.
A further 5 per cent (490,000 people) travelled as a passenger on Census day, Tuesday, 9 August 2016 "

Compare that number to the number of silly old fools driving through floodwater every couple of years.
