Experts advise: "Rural people don't buy cars", why is this? Do you feel that it makes sense?
In China's vast rural areas, many families see the purchase of a private car as a symbol of economic strength and an increase in convenience. However, experts have made the opposite recommendation: rural people should not buy cars lightly. Why is this so? The road conditions in rural areas are complex and backward, and narrow and unpaved roads become muddy in the rainy season, which seriously threatens driving safety; At the same time, the lack of transportation infrastructure makes road signs scarce and traffic lights almost non-existent, which can easily lead to traffic accidents.
Did you know that relatives in the countryside often light up when they think about buying a car? But really, as soon as this car is unbought, all kinds of troubles will follow. For example, this is the most troublesome road. Rural roads, as you know, are mostly honest dirt roads, and when it rains, it's either mud or water, and as soon as the car goes out, not only do you have to be careful, but you also have to worry about the car making a mess from the inside out.
And then there's, you see, a lot of times this car doesn't come in handy every day. The countryside is vast and sparsely populated, and many times it is enough to go out and walk or ride a bicycle. The car was placed there, and it was put there for a few days and weeks, and when I remembered to use it, all kinds of small problems with the car followed. The battery is out of power, and the tires may be leaking, these things look small, but they are real money to deal with.
Moreover, don't underestimate the fuel consumption of this car. Oil prices have also been the same every day in recent years, with the ups and downs of the market, and the money in your pocket is not blowing in the wind. It is a long way to add a gas station in the countryside, and every time you refuel, it is not only the cost of fuel, but also the time and energy. Sometimes when you do the math, you will find that although the car is good, it doesn't seem to be a good deal compared to the money spent and the convenience it brings.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the issue of security. The roads in the countryside, in addition to being narrow, also have a big bend and a small bend, and the lights are not good at night, so you have to be very careful when driving. Especially when you meet the kind of people who like to drive fast, they are prone to accidents if they are not careful. And, you know, people in the countryside have close relationships with each other, the drinking table culture is prevalent, and it's common to have two drinks after a meal, which makes it even more risky to drink and drive.
Of course, cars can sometimes come in handy in rural areas. For example, to go to the market, to a banquet or to visit relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, having a car at this time can really save a lot of trouble. But these times are a minority after all, and most of the time the car is still idle. So when it comes to buying a car, you really have to weigh it carefully.
You see, public transportation in many places has also begun to develop slowly, although it may not be as convenient as in the city, but it is becoming more and more convenient. In some places, buses and minibuses have begun to operate on a regular basis, which is also a good choice for those of us who do not have a lot of daily travel needs. And now electric bicycles, motorcycles and the like, are also very convenient, one charge can run a lot of roads, for rural road conditions, enough to meet the daily needs.
Besides, the car is not only to buy, but more importantly to raise. This maintenance cost and repair cost are also a lot of expenses throughout the year. Sometimes, we might as well use the money to do something else, such as improving the house or buying more daily necessities for the home, which are all practical ways to improve the quality of life.
Therefore, in the final analysis, the matter of buying a car still depends on the actual situation of the individual. If you really need to use a car often, or if your family's financial conditions allow, that's of course a good thing. But if it's just for the sake of momentary novelty or face, it may outweigh the losses. After all, once a vehicle is purchased, it is not only a simple means of transportation, but also an ongoing responsibility and financial burden.
Looking around us, there are many people who have bought a car, but their legs have been covered by the car. Owning a car is convenient, but the price you pay for that convenience every day can sometimes be really difficult. For example, although the rural area is large, it is not convenient to park everywhere. If there is no suitable parking space at the door of the house, the car will be parked overnight, and the safety problem cannot be ignored.
For example, some places also provide some preferential policies in order to promote new energy vehicles. In this case, if environmental protection and future energy trends are really taken into account, choosing an electric vehicle may be a more suitable choice. The maintenance cost of electric vehicles is relatively low, and in some rural areas, the government sometimes provides facilities such as electric vehicle charging piles, which is more convenient.
You see, every choice has its two sides. Having a car can indeed provide convenience in many cases, especially in emergency situations, such as sending a loved one who is suddenly ill to the hospital, when the car is particularly important. But at the same time, the daily maintenance of the car, fuel costs, tolls, etc., are all a lot of expenses.
Therefore, the matter of buying a car is really not something that can be decided on the spur of the moment. It's not so much an investment as a lifestyle choice. Everyone's lifestyle is different, and so are their needs and dependencies on cars. Before making a choice, it is best to consider many aspects and make a reasonable decision based on your actual situation.
As for those who have already bought a car, remember to check and maintain it often to ensure safe driving, after all, safety always comes first. For those who are still hesitating, you might as well listen to the opinions of the people around you and do more research and research, after all, this is not a trivial matter, it is not only related to the personal financial burden, but also the quality of daily life of a family.
