The concept of the Slow Car is interesting to say the least, but in my opinion it is heavily flawed.

Jurgen Bey is offering this alternative, siting the frustrations of restraining oneself in an automobile, as if he had never heard of public transportation: a perfectly reasonable mode of travel that currently exists and trumps his concept by allowing a group of people (or the individual) to be productive (or find room for reflection) while in transit as well as reducing road congestion.

It performs contrary to Bey’s argument for being part of a collective. He challenges how society builds fences against neighbors and then proceeds to stuff himself inside a box.
