▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage contends that smart car is beneficial economically and environmentally. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up several points that contradict this argument.
First of all, smart car is known to be fuel-efficient. However, some experiments have verified that the fuel-efficiency of smart car was lower than expected. That is to say, to use the smart car isn’t to save the money for fuel. This casts doubt on the reading, which states that smart car is economical.
In addition, it is known that the more new models are, the more cars are in the road. Consequently, smart car can make the traffic congestion more terrible. Moreover, smart car gives only two seats and users are willing to need more cars. This fact reputes the reading that the small size of smart car can reduce the traffic congestion.
Finally, smart car is able to be more dangerous for drivers. Because of its small size, other car’s drivers have difficulty in finding smart car. When the collision happens, it is no wonder that tiny-sized smart cars is crashed. This fact contradicts the reading that driving a smart car with safety-cage is safer than other cars.
