Cars are the main means of transportation for so many people today. The main advantage is that they provide freedom of movement. You can go anywhere without worrying about public transport timetables. The car is comfortable and warm. But let's look at the disadvantages. The machine requires service. There is often no parking space on busy city streets. And if you look more globally, cars have a negative impact on the environment. Exhaust gases pollute the air. Many auto parts are not recyclable, which in turn contaminates the soil. Therefore, the purchase and use of a car should be a balanced and deliberate decision.
