Cars

Some people think that the automobile has improved modern life. Others think that the automobile has caused serious problems.
I agree with both the arguments. Along with the tremendous benefits that the automobiles give to us, they also pose a serious threat to people's health and environment. Especially it is big problem in our country, Lithuania.
In the pre-automobile days people traveled on horses and carts. The traveling time was very long. Today, the automobiles can run anywhere close to 200 miles per hour speed.They are the cheapest and one of the fastest inventions of transportation and traveling on the land. The automobiles help people to take care of medical, business and other personal emergency situations.
Benzene and diesel, when used as an automobile fuel emits lot of poisonous gases. Automobiles pose a serious threat to the environment by emitting air pollutants like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The Air pollution poses serious threat to the ecology including human's health. Researchers have directly related the cause of various cancers to the air pollution. Automobiles also make people lazy by providing them with an easy means to travel that involves no physical exercise. It is serious problems in Lithuania, because our economy is still low and people can not afford to buy new cars, and old ones pollute atmosphere a lot.
Other terrible problem in Lithuania is Road War. Lithuania is leading country in EU by death in roads. Drivers are driving dizzy of alcohol, do not keep speed limits, and often break traffic rules. In this situation I suggest for government to set much stricter punishments as Latvia did. After that number of roadkills in Latvia reduced considerably.
