It is a fact that cars are bought for the first time by more people in developing countries today. The main problem is that this results in more polution and more traffic jams in big cities and the most viable solution to tackle this issue is that goverments should charge more tax on car consumption.
More motor vehicles travelling on streets lead to much more polution and more congestion in cities and this harms people's life. Firstly, carbon dioxide emission from cars make the asmostphere more dirty and this affects directly to people's health. Secondly, in busy cities where traffic is a headache problem, increasing cars results in more serious traffic congestion that makes traffic participants waste more time and be late for work. For example, Ho Chi Minh city is the most poluted city in Vietnam and congestion occurs most of the time because of a significant increase in cars used in the last five years.
Tax is the most effective way to limit car consumption because this makes cars more expensive to be afforded. If goverments charge higher tax on this luxury product, its prices would be much higher and this gives more financial burden to the people who want to own a car. For instance, in Singapore, cars price are double expensive than other countries' as a result of higher tax policy, therefore not many people are able to afford a car and they just use public transport instead.
In conclusion, owning cars means more fuel emission and more traffic problems and a high tax rate on car purchasing would tackle this problem efficiently.
