Too many vehicles on uk roads

The only solution is a high quality public transport system. We need to have far more capacity on it than we need “now” so it makes its use pleasant even when busy.

Only then will die hard car drivers be persuaded to move.
 
You only have to look around 1970's/80's housing estates to see the problem. Certainly in the 70's many houses didn't actually have a single car, and most only one car. Very few had more than one car, and the estates were designed accordingly. Now a lot of these kinds of estates are jam packed with cars due to the exponential increase in both quantity and size of vehicles.

It's the level of integration too. If the end to end journey time on public transport is say 10-15mins more, then it's worth the trade off to ditch the hassle of having to drive but if it adds an extra 45+ mins to my end to end journey then the car it is.
