Private car owners are increasing dramatically, because four wheelers provide humans round the clock mobility, flexibility and comforts. In spite of its various benefits, an easy availability of car loans is

also

responsible in an increasing

number

of cars.

However

, it has several detrimental effects on the environment as well as the life style of people.

This

essay is an attempt to illustrate issues, causing by

this

new trend and provides some possible solutions.

First

and foremost, a

number

of cars, certainly causes the traffic congestion on roads, which increases the chances of accidents and in severe cases, the injured ones may lose their lives.

Secondly

, it is a well known fact that, we are running out of the non-renewable resources,

such

as fuels. If

this

continues, our posterity may not be able to use the precious resources.

Thirdly

, an increased emission of fumes by cars, adds harmful gases,

such

as the Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere and pollute the environment heavily. And by inhaling

such

polluted air, humans may suffer from several deceases related to respiratory systems. So, controlling these harmful effects, becomes mandatory now. Increasing fuel prices, is the most effective solution. The skyrocketing in prices makes the nosedive in the

number

of cars on the roads.

Subsequently

beneficial to save fuel. Another solution is, there must be a stringent guidelines to limit the

number

of cars in the nation.

number

of increasing use of four wheelers can only do more harm than good. So, it is the responsibility of both, people and an authority, to take it seriously and try to reduce the use of private cars.
