The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2000 there may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads. Alternative forms of transport should be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.

With the passage of time and modernization, people prefer to have a luxurious life and prefer to drive on their own, rather than using public transport.

This

is leading to various environmental problems and has brought a need for governments to intervene and stop the root cause of

this

issue.

Firstly

, the government should introduce a law to discourage people from owning and using own car. It can be done by enforcing a limit on a number of vehicles a family can own.

For example

, in China, the ministry has restricted one car per family and if anyone found disobeying

this

rule, it will end up in paying heavy fines.

This

will have several positive impacts,

such

as less traffic, save in time and money and eco-friendly environment.

Further

, public mode of transportation should be increased and readily available with

Besides

this

, the problem of fuel getting distinct will be reduced, which will ultimately help the government from increasing prices of fuel and their can use the money saved on other important causes. Apart from

this

, a recent law of "Odd-Even" rule In India, where on Odd dates only odd number cars can be used and vice-versa, has helped the society from the major concern of traffic.

Furthermore

, governments should

also

plan events to motivate people in using cycle and solar energy-based vehicles. To conclude, the benefits of using an alternative mode of transportations rather than using individual cars outweigh the drawbacks and putting laws in place to control car ownership has helped to a great extent in solving the various social and environmental issues that are alarming in today's world.
