Cars as a Means of Transport

Nowadays, cars can be seen everywhere in huge numbers on the roads, moving in all directions. Why do people prefer cars to travel daily? Are cars a better means of transport? Do you agree with it? I believe that cars are the most desirable means of transportation. I think the discussion about the advantages and drawbacks of cars will lead to a more conclusive decision for all to agree.

cars as a means of transport

In my opinion, people prefer to buy cars because it is a cheap resource and a portable means of transport; they can be parked around houses and can be taken almost everywhere. Specifically, while travelling by other means of transport, you need to plan, such as buying tickets before travel and going to the stations according to the schedule to have a smooth journey.

In contrast, such planning is not required when using a car. The benefit of cars is that you can plan your trip or change it anytime; breaks during the journey can be set as desired. You can also adjust your speed to suit your preference. Everything is under your control, with no interference.

On the flip side, having a car can be considered a headache due to the constant refuelling, washing, insurance and maintenance of its engine and body. Though, almost a heavy traffic jam in the rush hours on the roads can cause mental stress and frustration for car users, especially when they are in a hurry. Sometimes it may result in accidents. Moreover, refurbishing a car after an accident causes an increase in your expenses.
Correspondingly, researchers have proven that the highest percentage of accidents are caused by cars. They emit toxic gases when burning fuel/petrol that gravely
affect the environment and contribute to global warming.

Above all, it is common for cars to be used in robberies. Thieves escape effortlessly from the crime scene in cars after the robberies. It demonstrates that cars are not just a blessing for humans, but also troublesome in a few situations.

To conclude, I would like to state that cars have both advantages and disadvantages. Thus, we can get the most out of them by abstaining from its drawbacks as much as possible.

Feel free to drop any suggestions.
