More and more people in developing countries are purchasing cars for the first time. What problem does this cause? What do you think are some possible solutions?

In developing countries, the number of

people

purchasing cars for the

first

time is rising.

Such

a trend may lead to detrimental effects on the global environment and

people

's health. To solve these problems, in my opinion, the governments could impose higher

taxes

on car owners and increase the price of oil in gas stations. Purchasing a car can seem something special for

people

from developing areas due to the lack of transport.

However

, rising usage of vehicles may result in an increased amount of gas emission which significantly worsens the quality of air and atmosphere in general.

In addition

, most drivers tend to spend a lot of time in a sitting position. It negatively affects health and promotes many serious diseases

such

as obesity, diabetes, etc.

Nevertheless

, the above-mentioned problems are not insurmountable and can be resolved by the right politics from the governments.

Firstly

, higher

taxes

may not only increase the income from citizens but

also

lower the demand for buying cars.

Secondly

, high prices for oil may force some individuals to reconsider their plans about buying an automobile and force them to switch to public transport.

For instance

, a great number of

people

in India started using buses and sold their cars because of high

taxes

, fines and expensive oil. In conclusion, the fact that more new car owners are appearing in developing countries can cause negative effects on the global environment and

people

's wellbeing. Among the best solutions to

this

issue are high

taxes

and increased price for petrol.
