The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2000 there may be as many as 29 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?
Driving is always a convenient way for people to go out. Since the appearance of the first car on British roads in 1888, vehicles are used more frequently. Currently, it is not surprising to see plenty of cars, buses, etc running on the roads. In view of this situation, it is suggested that more types of transport should be promoted and laws should be made. Personally, I agree that there is a need to do something in order to alleviate the problem of such a large amount of vehicles on the roads.
