THE MOTOR CAR
There be now over 700 million motor vehicles in the world - and the number of vehicles rise by
more than 40 million recently. The average distance driven by car users grow too - from 8 km a
day per person in western Europe in 1965 to 25 km a day until now. This dependence on motor
vehicles give rise to major problems, including environmental pollution, depletion of oil
resources, traffic congestion and safety.
While emissions from new cars be far less harmful than they
used to be, city streets and motorways become more crowded
than ever, often with older trucks, buses and taxis, which emit
excessive levels of smoke and fumes. This concentration of
vehicles make air quality in urban areas unpleasant and
sometimes dangerous to breathe. Even the United States join
the list of capitals afflicted by congestion and traffic fumes. In
Mexico City, vehicle pollution be a major health hazard.
