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.

Fredrick William Bremer, a plumber and gas fitter, built the first British four-wheeled petrol-engined motor car. Starting work in 1892, when he was 20, the still incomplete car made its first run on a public highway in December 1894.

Since the first invention of the car, the numbers have grown exponentially in most parts of the world. It is generally argued that alternative forms of transport should be exhorted and there should be control on car possession and use through the legalisation of laws will argue why it is essential to promote a variation to diminish transportations on roads.

While, those who endorse increased curtailing car possession, argue that alternative forms of transport are not relabelled. They mean to say, that public transportation lacks the quality of service and that these tend to be mostly delayed or break down halfway due to inadequacy of maintenance, source of frustration and so on. However, there remain strong reasons in favour of auspicious alternative forms of transportation services and imposing international laws to control car ownership.

So it will help to reduce the number of small vehicles; eventually reducing fuel consumption may cause a reduction in air pollution. Another reason is to save the resources used for environmental cars. Many organisations raise voices for the purified environment. Therefore, this over exploiting introduces laws to control the massive use of vehicles to save resources for future generations.

In conclusion, though, indeed, often public transits are not reliable, I strongly agree to encourage the use of other forms of transport and introducing international laws to limit car ownership and uses. It’s an essential step towards protecting the environment.
