I'm not a vegan, but it's probably worth remembering that different people might be vegan for different reasons. I can think of three main ones: animal welfare, environmental impact, and health. There's an overlap between the first two, but it's possible to be any one of those without being others. (Though I know a lot of particularly those who do it for animal welfare reasons like to claim that theirs is the One True Veganism and others are false.) Someone who's only into it for animal welfare but doesn't have a larger care for environmental impact would have no particular reason to not drive a car.
There's also the simple fact that it's impossible for most people to care about everything. It's draining. Like I said, I'm not vegan. I'm very bad in the kitchen, and it would just be far, far too much of an imposition for me to change that. But I do try in other areas to advocate for things to reduce harm to the environment, and I try to reduce my own energy usage, for example by cycling or catching public transport. Transport and urbanism are the angle towards a better environment that I've chosen to focus my energy towards, and as long as someone is not actively going out of their way to cause additional harm (e.g. advocating against policy improvements in those areas) I think it's reasonable to allow other people to focus their energy elsewhere.
