Some people claim that there are more disadvantages of the car than its advantages. Do you agree or disagree? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of having a car.

In recent ,times a lot of people have started investing their money in

cars

. Owning a

car

has become a status symbol and a lot of

car

manufacturing companies have started producing

cars

at affordable rates. With a rise in the number of

cars

, the

pollution

has

also

increased severely and physical exercise among people have

subsequently

reduced. Let us dive a bit more into

this

essay and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. Having a

car

is certainly beneficial, especially, when you have a family of more than three households. You can use it for travelling long distances comfortably

instead

of relying on public transports

such

as trains, buses or even flights. Having a

car

personally helps you to plan for holidays with access to remote areas which other modes of transportation do not offer. The problem arises when people in bigger cities use their

cars

for shorter distances

such

as to buy groceries or essentials.

This

not only contributes to a lot of

pollution

but,

also

creates traffic congestion as the roads are smaller in the city limits as compared to the ones on the highway. They

also

tend to become lazy and the lack of physical exercise has many adverse effects. Evidently, there is an increase in carbon footprints, using fossil fuels. In a recent survey conducted by the

pollution

control board, the negative impact on the environment caused by

cars

have increased by a whopping 65% from the year 2020. In summary,

although

having an automobile makes life easier it definitely has multiple downsides. In my opinion, I too would agree that owning them has major disadvantages

such

as the lack of exercise

thus

deteriorating the health and an increase in environmental

pollution
