I used motorist as I see it as a catchall term for those that drive cars, vans, motorcycles, pickup trucks, 4x4s, lorries ... in fact 'motor vehicle' drivers. 'Car' to me implies just a four seat, four wheel plain vanilla ... er car. And many moterists feel picked on because the car is seen as an extension of the human personality not simply a possession. Pick on someone's car and you pick on them is how many feel inside ... again rightly or wrongly.
If you look at the letters written in the era when the horse was being replaced by the railway ... then the same outrage for things that might 'fright the horses' was being expressed. I might hazard because 'personal transport' is fixed deep in the psyche alongside notions of personal freedom. Personally I think that the motorcar has had its day ... but there's not really any viable alternative for most people. I drive because I have to ... and hate pretty much every minute of it.
