Greetings to you all and welcome to my Engagement Challenge entry for the theme of this week's from this amiable community.
What happens if motor vehicles are banned around the world? |
|---|
A motor vehicle is basically any kind of vehicle that has an engine or motor to help it move. i.e., Motor vehicles are machines that use the power from a motor to make the wheels turn and propel them forward. Examples include;
- Cars: such as sedans, SUVs, sports cars, and hatchbacks.
- Trucks: such as pickup trucks, dump trucks, and delivery trucks.
- Motorcycles: such as street bikes, cruisers, and dirt bikes.
- Buses: Public buses, school buses, and tour buses.
- Vans: passenger vans and cargo vans.
- Trains: passenger trains and freight trains.
- Airplanes: Commercial planes, private jets, and helicopters.
- Boats: Motorized boats, speedboats, and yachts.
- Construction vehicles: Excavators, bulldozers, and cranes.
- Farm vehicles: Tractors, combine harvesters, and agricultural machinery.
These are only but a few examples as there are many more types of motor vehicles out there.

Therefore, if all motor vehicles were banned worldwide, it would mean that cars, trucks, motorcycles etc would no longer be used. Hence, people would have to rely on other modes of transportation like walking, biking, or using animal transportation. This could have both positive and negative effects, as it would help reduce air pollution and traffic congestion, making the environment cleaner and the roads less crowded while also encouraging people to be more active and lead healthier lifestyles. However, it could also pose challenges, especially for those who rely heavily on vehicles for their daily commute or for transporting goods.
Using alternative transportation options might take more time and effort, and it could impact industries that rely heavily on motor vehicles, such as logistics and delivery services. Hence, if motor vehicles are banned in the world it would require significant adjustments in how we travel, transport goods and do business, but it could also mean a greener and more sustainable future.
Will humans again seek the help of animals for transport? |
|---|
Just as I said earlier, if motor vehicles were to be banned in the world, there is every possibility that humans might turn to the old ways of transportation before the emergence of motor vehicles which includes using animals for transportation.
In the past, people used horses, donkeys, and other animals to travel and carry their belongings, hence, it would be like going back to the time of old. While this means of transportation may not be as fast or convenient as the motor vehicles we use today, it could definitely come with some advantages as using these animals for transport would bring about more environmentally friendly means and could help us reduce the level of pollution in the world.
This could also provide us with a unique and enjoyable experience, as it could be a means for us (humans) to connect with nature and appreciate a slower pace of travel.

However, it would require proper care and training of the animals, as well as adjustments in our infrastructural system to accommodate these animals. Therefore if motor vehicles are banned totally in the world and the use of animals for transportation reintroduced, it would be a significant change in how we move from place to place, but it could also bring back a sense of harmony between humans and animals in our transportation systems.
However, with the emergency of other alternatives like electric vehicles, I personally do not think humans will go back to the use of animals for transportation as this electric vehicles such as electric cars, trains, scooters etc are also considered environment friendly and achieve better results in short time compared to the use of animals. This is a personal opinion, though as those who cannot afford these vehicles will have to go back to the ancient means of using animals.
How would our environment be without motor vehicles? |
|---|
I cannot simply pinpoint exactly how our environment would be without motor vehicles, but one thing I know is that without motor vehicles to use, our environment would benefit in the following ways;
Reduced Pollution:
Without motor vehicles, there would be a significant decrease in air pollution as it is these motor vehicles that emit harmful gases and pollutants that contribute to poor air quality and cause climate change. Therefore, with no motor vehicles, the air would be cleaner and healthier for us to breathe.
Noise Reduction:
Motor vehicles are one of the major sources of noise pollution with their constant honking, engine revving, and traffic sounds. Therefore without motor vehicles, it would be much quieter and more peaceful, allowing us to enjoy the natural sounds of birds chirping and wind rustling through the trees.
Less Traffic and Congestion:
With no motor vehicles, there would be no traffic jams or long queues of cars on the roads, which would lead to smoother and faster movement of people and goods.
Active Transportation:
Without cars, people would need to rely on alternative modes of transportation like walking, or cycling which could encourage a more active lifestyle, promoting better health and fitness for individuals while also creating a sense of community as people interact more while commuting.
Sustainable Transportation:
The absence of motor vehicles could spur the development of sustainable transportation options such as the use of electric vehicles, bicycles, or even innovative solutions like shared transportation systems with these alternatives having a lesser negative impact on the environment which would help us reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Economic Impact:
The removal of motor vehicles would have both positive and negative economic consequences as it would bring about a decline in the automotive industry, but then this could also create new job opportunities in alternative transportation sectors and promote local businesses.
What will it be if humans invent any form of transportation other than the motor in the future? |
|---|
If we humans can invent any new form of transportation in the future that doesn't rely on motors, it would be super exciting. I cannot even begin to imagine the possibilities, but then just imagine having different ways to get around that are completely different from what we are used to today.

With the continuous advancements in science, nano and quantum energies, we could have something like teleportation, where we just instantly appear in a different location without needing a vehicle at all, or it could be something like flying in personal jetpacks, just like superheroes in movies.
We might even have super-fast trains that uses magnets to levitate and zoom through tunnels. I must say, the possibilities are endless and some of the changes that are coming would definitely change the way we travel and make our lives even more interesting, just as electric cars are being introduced to make environment-friendly travelling.
I wish to invite @ruthjoe, @ngoenyi, @chants and @ninapenda.
Thank You for your Time
NOTE: Always have a smile on your face, as you are never fully dressed without one.
In my observation, air pollution has become a major concern in many cities due to the emissions from motor vehicles. So, if we were to eliminate these vehicles, it's likely that our air quality would improve drastically. I remember visiting a bustling city where the smog from cars made it hard to breathe, so reducing pollution would definitely be a positive change.
I've experienced firsthand how noisy streets can be due to the constant rumble of traffic. Without motor vehicles, it's easy to imagine a quieter, more serene environment where we can appreciate the natural sounds around us. I remember staying in a countryside retreat where the only sounds were birds singing and leaves rustling in the breeze, and it was so peaceful.
As someone who loves exploring new technologies, the idea of revolutionary transportation methods is incredibly intriguing. Just imagine the convenience of teleportation or the thrill of flying around in personal jetpacks. It's like stepping into a science fiction movie.
All the best
Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
Yes, the ban on motor vehicles would indeed lead to a greener and sustainable environment but one thing that would adversely affect the environment would be that we won’t be able to carry solid waste to disposal points efficiently, we won’t t be able to extinguish wild forest fires easily without motor vehicles, disaster management would become a tough job. So in my opinion, yes of course the natural environment would be rejuvenated but the challenges that we face due to nature sometimes would also become a herculean task to tackle with.
Reverting to animal-powered transportation can signify a go back to an easier much more lasting lifestyle. Welcoming steeds, donkeys, along with various other pets for traveling plus items transportation may do not have the rate of motor vehicles yet it provides a green choice minimizing contamination degrees as well as promoting a much deeper link with nature.
Certainly, I will agree with you that if motorized vehicles are banned from the world, humans will definitely go back to the old ways of transportation before even thinking or coming up with another good alternative in future.
Great input!
Many success in the challenge!
Greetings dear,

Hii friend I really enjoy reading your entry, I see motor are very important in our community and environment, if this happens in our environment it will affect everyone that travels a long distance. I know this is a content and it can never come to pass. All this vehicle was created to iss human surfing. I wish you success boss..
The removal of motor vehicles would have both positive and negative economic consequences as it would bring about a decline in the automotive industry, but then this could also create new job opportunities in alternative transportation sectors and promote local businesses. Exactly, the removal of motor vehicles would indeed have both positive and negative economic consequences. It's a complex issue that involves various factors, including the impact on industries, job creation, and local economies. Transitioning away from motor vehicles would require careful planning and consideration of how to mitigate the negative effects while maximizing the positive outcomes.
