Someone has rightly said that – ―The car has become an article of dress without
which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete‖. In my opinion, the advantages of
the car outstrip its disadvantages.
There are many advantages of car. The most important advantage is that it has
given people freedom of movement. The ease of transportation which a car brings is
more than any other form of transportation. For instance, you can go from
destination to destination and no time is wasted waiting for the bus or train.
Therefore, time and distance are not a barrier any more. What is more, families can
go out together. This becomes especially helpful when there are elderly or the
disabled and sick members in the family.
Furthermore, the automobile industry provides jobs to millions of workers. Filling
stations, restaurants, and other businesses that serve automobile travelers are of
major importance to a country‘s economy. In addition, many developing nations have
begun making automobiles to boost their economy. That is why India has promoted
many automobile manufacturing industries such as Tata and Mahindra.
On the other hand the disadvantages of the car cannot be overlooked. The increase
in pollution, traffic jams and accidents are the natural sequelae to the burgeoning
population of cars. Moreover, our overdependence on cars can lead to decrease in
practices such as walking and cycling and this has led to a number of diseases such
as obesity.
On balance, the advantages to people‘s lives and the economic impact created by
the car definitely outweigh the disadvantages. However, we must know when and
how-much to use the car so that we can minimize the demerits to some extent.
