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.

On British roads, the

first

18th century

Suggestion

the 18th century

. It is expected that more that 29 million vehicles will be present on British roads by the year 2000. It is suggested that other means of

transport

ought to be encouraged and international laws should be implemented to balance the car usage and ownership. In my opinion, I agree that authorities should encourage alternative ways of

transport

and consider introducing laws to control

this

situation as it can bring financial and environmental problems to the country. A good reason to bring other means of

transport

and introducing laws, is that there is a proportion of

population

the population

with less resources who are not able to afford cars. If the ownership of

is not controlled, other means of public

transport

,

for instance

, trains and buses, will not be developed.

As a result

,

this

will directly impact people with financial constraints and travelling will be difficult and costly for them.

Finally

, development of public

transport

greatly benefits both individuals and government. Along with cost-effectiveness, through

this

, more job opportunities are created and many jobless people get the jobs like drivers etc. In

this

way financial burden is decreased and government can work better. Another point to consider is that introduction of private cars without control can pose environmental hazards to the society. What

i

refers to the speaker or writer

I

mean by

this

is that,

for example

, cars will be generating more smoke while transporting only 3-4 people rather than a bus in which more than 30 people can travel.

Moreover

,

this

amount of vehicles will require more space for parking which will not be an easy task for the government.

This

will result in more traffic congestion and loss of time while travelling.

This

can lead to more traffic incidents and cases of accidental deaths may be increased In conclusion, I think,

is a mandatory step for relative authorities in British, as it can bring serious environmental issues along with affordability problems for a common man.
