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.

From its

first

appearance in 1888, in Britain, cars have become a vital mean of

transportation

in our day to day lives. Until the year 2000, there could be as many as 29 million cars on the roads of Britain, so the people are being encouraged to

use

alternative forms of

transportation

to control car usage. I somewhat disagree with

this

statement, because,

although

the rate of car

use

is expanding, introducing international laws to limit the ownership of vehicles is not the answer. The reason people enjoy having their own cars is that it gives them an independence on the roads.

In other words

, owning a vehicle gives you an advantage to travel wherever you want, without waiting for busses or trains. Establishing a law that suspends the Brits from

this

freedom would be considered a violation of human rights. In Beijing,

for example

, in the year 1998, there was a riot against the government, because the new penalties against owning a vehicle were regarded as contravention.

On the other hand

, the British authority should encourage its citizens to

use

public

transportation

. If the busses, trains, and

would become free of charge, there is a chance those people will get attracted to them.

in the UK. In Tokyo, the Japanese government made all public means of

transportation

free for all social groups, and it is currently the city with the lowest rate of car usage. As a conclusion,

although

Britain can take some measurements to prevent

this

problem from growing, introducing new rules will only make things worse.

Instead

as busses, trains, etc.
