Isn't that called rewilding these days?
Who’s “we”?
There's a bloke near me who has for years kept three motors in his front garden. He uses one whilst the other two sit gathering dust and losing air in their tyres, having been SORNed. Every few years, he buys a new motor, then the older of the two inactive ones disappears, and the one he was using gets SORNed, so the routine of having one active and two inactive motors is maintained. To add to the mystery, each new motor he buys is more posh than the previous one, whilst his house is getting increasingly tatty and tumbledown. All very odd.
At least that’s foreseeable and can be planned around. What happens if you live alone and are rushed into hospital while your car is on street? Arranging to have your car moved is a bit difficult if you’re the only one who knows where it is and you’re in a coma.
Happened to me away from home on my own. Luckily I was compos mentis and had bought the premium package from my recovery service which included recovery in a medical emergency.
I suspect in Alberta the idea that you wouldn't drive absolutely everywhere - including the airport - would be considered a bit odd.
I would imagine that the actual process involves someone reporting that it hasn't moved in 72 hours, someone else coming out to check it, probably marking the tyres or something, and coming back later to see if whatever indication the car hasn't been moved is still in place. Which in practice means there's probably nearly a week's grace period.
