Cars taking over our lives • Before cars were invented, travelling a few kilometres would take a long time. • People either had to walk, bike, ride horses or use a horse and cart. • People could choose to live further away from their workplace • People could now take a car to work and travel a lot faster. Emergency service can arrive quickly Before cars – help for an emergency could take a long time to come.

3. On the road again • Roads and motorways are now part of towns and cities • Cars need to travel on roads and motorways. As more cars were built so there was the need for more roads and motorways. • Petrol stations are found in every town. More cars means more petrol being used. Pollution has increased because more cars on the road equals more pollution
