Pros Let’s start with the good stuff, since it is more fun to find the good in things than to criticize! Flexibility Flexibility is one of the biggest pros of travelling by car You can stop as much as you like, drive at your own pace, and simply enjoy the freedom of a road trip! And since there’s no baggage limit, you can take almost the entire house with you Well, not literally, but you can definitely pack everything you think is essential for such a trip And let’s not forget that your beloved pets can join you if you choose this mode of transport Pets are not usually welcomed on planes or trains, and when they are it is usually pretty stressful for them Car rides can be fun for your pets, so nothing is stopping you from taking your pet to have an adventure with you! Just ensure you prepare your car appropriately in order to keep everyone safe Better Views A better view is another great benefit of travelling by car When you travel by plane your view is limited and sometimes covered in cloud If you choose to see the world from a ship, all you will see is water in every direction But if you pick a car as your transport, you will be able to see many beautiful villages, hills, and small towns along your drive And you will always be able to stop and take some pictures, too So the view from the window is a huge plus Money Saving Another great benefit of travelling by car is that it can save a bit of money This mainly works when you are travelling with a bunch of friends who can all chip in for gas And, if your car is large enough, you can even skip renting a room and just simply sleep in your car! Driving is considered to be a much cheaper way to travel, because you can control your finances easier and simply be more flexible when it comes to spending your money Cons Now let’s get to the biggest negatives of travelling by car Long Distances Well, let’s be honest Driving takes a hell of a long time You can sometimes drive for hours, and still not reach your destination You can’t reach every part of the world with a car You can’t drive through the ocean to travel to Hawaii, for instance In general, if you choose a car as your way to travel, you will have to travel only where you can drive your car, and that means you might not be able to travel everywhere Bad Weather Another disadvantage of travelling by car is that bad weather can have a serious impact on your trip Rain, snow and storms can all change driving conditions and might even ruin your whole road trip if you’re not prepared Consider the weather before taking off on the road and be honest about your driving skills, too Driving under these conditions can be a challenge for some and can be dangerous not just to you, but others on the road too if you’re not properly prepared Hidden Costs Finally, the last is that before any kind of road trip, you definitely need to prepare your car for the long haul, and that might require additional finances and time Ensure you spend some time checking your car for malfunctions that might happen on the road Also, consider investing in a few car essentials, especially if you are planning to hit the road long term or with your children And don’t forget the small but helpful gadgets you can use in a car, like phone or cup holders, a GPS, or sun visors These all make your road trip that little more enjoyable! 000003 There are many different means of transport Sometimes we can't imagine how people could live without cars, buses, trains and planes many years ago Some people prefer travelling by car, others think that it's dangerous and polluts the environment Whatever your views, there's no doubt that travelling by car has both many advantages, and a lot of disadvantages To begin withthe speed, we can move quickly from one place to another We don't have to waste our time and wait for a bus If we want to go to the hospital we not need to go to the bus station and wait It is very important, because we can travel wherever and whenever we want Secondly, cars are always available and we can go by car everywhere Sometimes in small villages bus travels very rarely People have to wait for a long time to go to the town Availability is the second advantage of travelling by car Moreover, we can also have touring holiday when and where we want If we want to go for a trip, we don't have to book bus tickets- it's too complicated If we have a car, we need only a map or GPS system and we can simply get into a car and go! On the other hand, travelling by car is not very comfortable for a driver He cannot relax, he has to be careful all the time Vehicles are forced to stay in traffic jams, it is also very uncomfortable Passangers can sleep or doing what thay want When driver is very tired, he can be as dangerous on the road as drunk driver Travelling by car is dangerous, too There are many crashes on the roads and we should be very careful and sensible There are many people, who want to drive after alcohol, they cause a lot of accidents In my opinion they are irresponsible and immature and people who drink and drive should lose their driving licence for life Using a car is also very expensive If you have a car you have to pay much money for petrol and services Petrol prices are very high In my opinion people should use gas more than petrol because gas is better for the envierment What is more, the gas is cheaper To sum up, if we have money and remember about politness, patience and responsable driving even when we have problems with finding a parking space and we get nervous- we can enjoy driving for many years, for sure
