The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2020 there may be as many as 32 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?

It is passed almost two hundred years since the
first
car appeared on British roads in 1888. With time passing, millions of
cars
have appeared in the development of motors. Nowadays, most
cars
on the roads do not look anything like the
first
ones.
Cars
and other vehicles today have been introduced in each city's street;
in particular
, we talk about buses, trains, subways, and other public transport. All of these have permitted everybody to change their lifestyle. It is incredible how the world is gone other its limits still another time. The same time which anyone could spend standing around now is completely reduced.
That is
another way for industrial development, in my opinion, to tell us that the world is changing. Of course, as we said, every possibility of moving ourselves, even if for a few meters, is changed: nowadays whoever can use or be the owner of a car, but the same thing is unthinkable if we look at, even and only about one hundred years ago in which only wealthiest families could have one car. Unfortunately, the more the number of vehicles has been, the more
accidents
on roads have increased over the years. Today, there are many rules about driving
cars
: most have been created to limit the multitude of deaths from road
accidents
. Each year, in Italy, we witness hundreds of deaths by
accidents
of
cars
. The governments should incentivize the respect of traffic rules, maybe beginning just by the schools, by students, teaching them what could be the problems related to these situations,
such
as alcohol, wisdomless, and drinking before driving. The number of
accidents
is steadily increasing, and we cannot stay with nothing to do!
