Adopting a policy that limits families to having a single vehicle has general effects that may impact the environment, the economy, and society in different ways. The way one balances the law's possible advantages and disadvantages determines whether it is favorable or adverse. Here are a few things to think about:
Environmental Benefits
Firstly there will be some changes in our environment, for example
Carbon Emissions Reduction: Limiting the number of cars per family directly reduces the number of vehicles on the road, which contributes to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The fumes coming out of the vehicle had caused an accident in my area, there was a particular vehicle that collided with a truck and claimed the lives of the family in that vehicle, but reducing the number of cars in every family can lead to a cleaner environment and improve public health by reducing the negative impacts of air pollution.
Air pollution is another disadvantage that having many cars is bringing to the environment, the noise will be reduced and we will have a clearer view of the road.
Another point is Fuel Consumption: With fewer cars, there will be a decrease in fuel consumption, especially in my country some people prefer to buy fuel in their cars than to eat, we now see fuel as a commodity, having a car per family will reduce the rate at which everyone queues at the fuelling station drastically, it will save people from overspending.
My sister was telling me about the amount she always used to fuel her car every week, we calculated it and her salary is already gone, this happened because they have more than one car in the family, the husband has his car too, now my sister is complaining on the amount she spent on buying fuel, now if they have a car then they can cut cost and reduce unnecessary expenses.
Disadvantages of having one car in a family
Increased Weight on Public Transport: I was at the park last week to send some goods to one of my friends, I got there and the driver told me that there was no passenger, and no vehicle was going in that direction, I felt bad and left with my goods, Relying solely on public transport for multimodal trips might become the only viable option, which could lead to overcrowding and strain on public services.
Everything that has advantages also has disadvantages, this will affect everyone as humans, things may not move the way we want and it may slow down our daily activities, for example, In cities with limited public transport infrastructure, this could exacerbate transportation problems. Also, there will be Challenges for Education and Healthcare Access, in a situation where a child is sick and the family has only one car, maybe the father is out with the car and there is no way to get to the hospital, there will be a challenge, and this may cause harm to such child, Lack of access to many cars may make it more difficult for workers who are unable to use public transportation owing to distances, school, or work obligations to obtain these necessary services, thereby increasing the gap between urban and metropolitan lives.
