The first car appeared on British roads in 1888. By the year 2005 there may be as many as 29 million vehicles on British roads.
Should alternative forms of transport be encouraged and international laws introduced to control car ownership and use?
There is general agreement that there are far too many automobiles crowding the roads nowadays. In fact, it is estimated that there will be as many as 29 million motor vehicles on British roads by the year 2005. Not only do these motor vehicles cause inconvenience in the form of traffic jams and accidents, they also contribute to the planets ever-worsening air pollution.
In my opinion we must encourage alternative forms of transport. If more people rode bicycles or traveled by public transport, they would be healthier and suffer less from stress, the roads would be less congested and safer, and the air in our cities would be cleaner. Subway systems, take passengers off the streets entirely. Private cars are banned in the downtown areas, where the only form of wheeled transport allowed is the bicycle.
However, it is necessary that these efforts to improve the traffic situation be backed up by international laws to control the ownership and use of cars. This is because, first of all, pollution caused by automobiles is a worldwide problem. Whats more, more people are traveling by car to other countries nowadays.
If measures are taken in a planned way to encourage alternative forms of transportation, and international laws put in place to control car ownership and use, there is no doubt that the result will be safer roads, a healthier lifestyle and a less-polluted atmosphere.
