4. Do you agree than automobiles & trucks are the majorsources to travel? Read the text below:

There is a class of people in UnitedStates that think that the automobile will never be appreciated so well tobecome a major mean of transportation in the country. The automobiles areperhaps one of the major sources to travel across the country. Also, the carsare not only the major mean of transportation in the country but it is also usedwidely all over the world. Interestingly, United States is holding the topmostposition all over the world for passenger vehicles. According to the estimatesgiven by the Department of Transportation, there were more than 254 millionregistered vehicles recorded until 2007. An interesting fact here is that thenumber of licensed drivers is far less than the number of registered vehicles.This is perhaps one of the major reasons for increasing traffic on the roads.The cyclic increase in the oil prices and the deteriorating conditions ofeconomy however, has forced many drivers to alter their driving habits.

Along with automobiles, you have to keepin mind the cargo or freight trucks that share a road with you. Cargo orfreight trucks are the means to transport goods from one place to another.These are basically the strength of the US economy. It is clear that with anincrease in population, the demands for the goods also increase. Someinteresting figures are provided by Federal Highway Administration which showsthat over 53 million tons of cargos are transported daily and that too of worthnear $36 billion. Freight trucks transport anything ranging from consumer goodsto industrial equipments.

We can expect a considerable increase inthe number of vehicles and trucks travelling on the American roads in future.According to Federal Highway Administration, the numbers will increase 30percent by 2035.
