Private car ownership has been increasing over the past few decades. This has given ordinary people greater mobility, but has also led to concerns about traffic congestion and air pollution. Do the advantages of private car ownership outweigh the disadvantages?

In recent years, the use of

vehicles

has become the easiest means of transportation and most individuals want to own one for their comfort and convenience.

Therefore

, there had been an increased rate of ownership of cars which can sometimes lead to

traffic

jams and severe air pollution.

However

, I think the merits of owning a

car

surpass the demerits.

Firstly

, the development of

vehicles

have made movement easier and faster and aside from these, there are

also

other advantages like comfort, freedom to do anything whilst driving, it's safer, cheaper transportation fee ,especially for the entire family etc. When people have free access or own a

car

, they feel relaxed and unbothered when invited to an occasion and their only problem will be fueling it.

For instance

, my uncle once had some difficulties transporting his family for events and decided to get a sienna which is big enough for the entire family of 6

and most importantly it helps them in case of emergencies,

that is

if one kid is sick, they easily rushed him to the hospital rather than looking for a taxi to pick them up.

On the other hand

, owning

vehicles

can be very exhausting in terms of maintenance, and repairs, stressful driving , expensive to buy and quite difficult to learn and obtain a license.

For example

, the amount of maintaining a

car

is more than the amount of purchasing one. The negative effects of increased ownership of cars include road

traffic

accidents due to reckless driving or bad roads, air and noise pollution and

traffic

jams.

However

, these are issues that can be resolved by good functional

traffic

schemes with strict rules and regulations. In conclusion, personal

car

owners are at more advantages than disadvantages and the governments can supervise and assist the road regulatory authority by providing good roads which lead to the easy flow of jams and noise and air pollution will

therefore

be reduced.
