Nowadays we are becoming more and more dependent on cars. The majority of those
asked people will now say that they can??™t live without car any more. At this time more citizens start driving a car as they get 18 years old, so it??™s easy to imagine how many cars are now on the roads of city. People use cars for many reasons such as saving time, riding in more comfortable conditions, but they are forgetting about things like air pollution, traffic jams or simply cost of ride.
Cars are very efficient because they can save you a lot of time. Imagine that if you have to go somewhere in place which is located on the other side of city, and you have a choice, to go by bus or to go by car. What will you choose Of course you will go by car because it will save you a couple hours. Nowadays time is valued very high. Our whole live is narrowly connected with time, and many people have big problems with time management, so saving few hours on the road will be very useful. But except saving time cars have many other advantages.
Cars are so widespread, because they are very comfortable. Again you can imagine what to choose, overcrowded, hot bus or air-conditioned car Of course car is much more comfortable that any public transport, except maybe high-speed train or sea transport. But in city conditions car is definitely winning this competition. It has air-condition, comfortable seats, sound system and more space than in public transport. Also if you are travelling with children or old persons, car conditions will be better for them. But as in every situation there are pros and cons, and cars are not exception, they have a lot of disadvantages.
Petrol-powered cars are polluting even without that much polluted city. Last few years people started to use more petrol, because of increasing amount of cars in the city. Everybody knows that nowadays city is already polluted very much because of many factories and plants. Car usage is only supplement to air-pollution, and that??™s why it might be the biggest disadvantage of car.
Huge quantity of cars is creating big traffic jams, making simple drive very nervous. We??™re just were talking about saving time with car. This example has another side, because going by car you have big chance to lose much time in traffic jam, especially during lunch time and in the evening. Traffic jams also can be very nervous trial, because while just driving you must have maximum attention, and while driving in traffic jam you must have more than maximum attention, because usually traffic jam is full of people who are late to work, and consequently are very angry. This could be very dangerous.
Not everyone can afford himself a car because of its cost. Nowadays life is very expensive thing. If you have a car you have additional expenditures on petrol, services in case if something will break. Citizens are divided by social classes; upper class can easily afford themselves a car, and even two or three cars. Middle class also can afford them a car, but not so luxury and sometimes only one. Low class might have problems with buying a car because it will be very expensive for them.
In my opinion all car owners will say that they can??™t live without a car, and with no doubt it??™s very useful, I??™m agree that car is very efficient in this time, and it??™s advantages are prevail over disadvantages.
In conclusion using car have their own disadvantages such as air pollution, spending time driving in traffic jams and simply expensive cost of car, but nevertheless car owners are almost addicted on cars and going by car in every place even if it??™s located very close. Cars have very good advantages such as comfortable driving and saving a lot of time. We can??™t get rid of using cars, but one thing we can do is to apply more hybrid cars and to at least decrease usage of cars.
