For example

Thus

problem is not effective. The two main effective methods for solving these issues are by creating

Firstly

a taxing system should be introduced where people pay fines if they break these laws especially, knowingly. A survey conducted by the Federal

Secondly

, vehicle checks should be done on vehicles plying the roads to ascertain if there are worthy to be driven on the roads or not. Most times, air

Thus

measure will help to minimise the number of vehicles that are not properly maintained and could cause air

. To illustrate
