Travelling by car

There are many different means of transport. Sometimes we can't imagine how people could live without cars, buses, trains and planes many years ago. Some people prefer travelling by car, others think that it's dangerous and polluts the environment. Whatever your views, there's no doubt that travelling by car has both many advantages, and a lot of disadvantages.

To begin withthe speed, we can move quickly from one place to another. We don't have to waste our time and wait for a bus. If we want to go to the hospital we do not need to go to the bus station and wait. It is very important, because we can travel wherever and whenever we want. 

Secondly, cars are always available and we can go by car everywhere. Sometimes in small villages bus travels very rarely. People have to wait for a long time to go to the town. Availability is the second advantage of travelling by car.

Moreover, we can also have touring holiday when and where we want. If we want to go for a trip, we don't have to book bus tickets- it's too complicated. If we have a car, we need only a map or GPS system and we can simply get into a car and go! 

On the other hand, travelling by car is not very comfortable for a driver. He cannot relax, he has to be careful all the time. Vehicles are forced to stay in traffic jams, it is also very uncomfortable. Passangers can sleep or doing what thay want. When driver is very tired, he can be as dangerous on the road as drunk driver. 


Travelling by car is dangerous, too. There are many crashes on the roads and we should be very careful and sensible. There are many people, who want to drive after alcohol, they cause a lot of accidents. In my opinion they are irresponsible and immature and people who drink and drive should lose their driving licence for life.

Using a car is also very expensive. If you have a car you have to pay much money for petrol and services. Petrol prices are very high. In my opinion people should use gas more than petrol because gas is better for the envierment. What is more, the gas is cheaper.


To sum up, if we have money and remember about politness, patience and responsable driving even when we have problems with finding a parking space and we get nervous- we can enjoy driving for many years, for sure.
