Just making the point that sometimes you don't know all the circumstances, and there are circumstances where it wouldn't be a disgrace or lazy or selfish or deliberately polluting to use the car for a short journey.

It would be really embarrassing to present someone who is apparently fit and healthy with their 'lazy/selfish/polluting' award only to find out there were circumstances to justify actions.

Anyway, that's not to say there aren't lazy people. But I wouldn't consider it a disgrace or selfish if somebody cycled to work all week and then did a short journey on a Saturday. I don't think Michael was trying to say that two wrongs make a right - just that everything's relative.
