As the number of cars increases, more money has to be spent on road systems. Some people think the government should pay for this. Others, however, think that drivers should cover the costs. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
With globalization, the number of automobiles on the

is continuously rising Use synonyms
thus
, allocating more funds towards Linking Words
road
system development has become a crucial topic in discussion. Some people believe that it is the Use synonyms
government
’s responsibility but others believe that the vehicle drivers should cover the costs. In Use synonyms
this
essay, I will discuss both notions and elaborate on why allowing funds by the Linking Words
government
is more important .
On one hand, it is the sole responsibility of a Use synonyms
government
to provide adequate facilities to their citizens as they pay a fraction of their income as tax. Use synonyms
For instance
, in Sweden, 14% of the annual income of an individual is collected by the state rulers but in return, they receive benefits Linking Words
such
as a well-developed free public transport system and access to highways and Linking Words
roads
. Use synonyms

On the other hand

road
signs and street lamps because of their reckless driving habits. Use synonyms
For example
, when a drunk driver hits a structure located on a highway, they should be held accountable for the damage they caused because repairing or maintenance of that structure may be costly. If they were fined Linking Words
according to
the degree of the damage they caused, they will be more focused on Linking Words
roads

thus
causing fewer accidents and making Linking Words

maintenance less expensive.

roads
take a massive amount of money. Use synonyms
While
some argue that the costs should be covered by the drivers, in my opinion, I think that most of the responsibility of the infrastructure development around Linking Words
roads
should be taken over by the Use synonyms
government
authority as they are in charge of the taxpayer's money.Use synonyms
