Do you agree that the advantages cars bring outweigh the disadvantages?

Using cars has become increasingly common in recent years.

Although

, I think that it maintains some obvious harmful consequences, I strongly believe that the advantages of the personal vehicle can outweigh its advantages. On the one hand, owning cars has a significant influence on the environment. The

first

reason is that the growth in travelling by

car

can lead to a rise in pollution, traffic jams, and accidents. More cars are likely to result in a rocketing rate of pollution.

Secondly

, our dependence on cars can lead to decrease in practices

such

as walking and cycling. People may have a higher chance of carrying more potential health risks, like obesity and heart attack.

On the other hand

, there are many reasons why people prefer to own cars.

Firstly

, it provides people with the freedom of movement. The ease of transportation, which a

car

brings is more significant than any other form of vehicles.

For example

, one can go from a destination to another destination and no time is wasted waiting for the bus or train.

Therefore

, time and distance are not barriers anymore.

Secondly

, personal cars can give comfort while travelling compared to the public transports which are so crowded and disgusting.

For instance

, one can read books, listen favourite songs or even play with kids while sitting in the own

car

, but all seems to be impossible on a public transport.

Finally

, families can go together.

This

becomes especially helpful when there are elderly, the disabled or even sick members in the families. In conclusion, having a

car

can lead to a few obvious problems, but I believe that owning a

car

is the best choice and the benefits that it brings about can outshine its drawbacks.
