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?
The number of cars has rapidly increased since 1888, reaching 29 million vehicles on British roads. Because of this situation, some people argue that car ownership and usage should regulated and other modes of transportation should be prioritized. In my opinion, I agree that providing alternative means of transportation should be encouraged. However, the right to own private cars should be preserved without intervention from others.
