All fingers are not equal is something I was used to hearing as a child, growing up I have discovered that this proverb cuts across all works of life from family to individual strength, health, finance and what have you. This simply means that no two people are exactly the same, even identical twins differ from each other in some aspects and the same way it would be unfair to treat every family in just one particular order. From individual perspectives to family perspectives I think it would be unfair to create a law that gives every family access to just one car. I don't think it will be fair at all even though it will help in reducing the depletion of the ozone layer of our ecosystem.
In my opinion it would be easier to ban the car system totally, than create a law that gives one car to a family. First thing first it won't be new for people to cheat this system, especially when people can easily divide different members of the family to form a totally new family thereby owning different cars. So if we're concerned with the rate at which carbon gases affect our ecosystem, we should look into banning cars and anything that emits carbon completely. The reason is simply because as much as we want to save our ecosystem, we also want to be able to move around quickly. The world is so large that, except we want to go back to using horses and Camels as means of transportation, we really need a means of easy transportation.
In families with large members, how do you expect them to all move at the same time with one car, when they can conveniently afford more. You can not expect working class parents and children to have just one car in the family if they can afford more. Think about the morning rush hours, when kids need to go to school, and parents need to go to work. Think about the parents having jobs in totally different directions. At least one member of the family would be condemned to a life of sacrifice, not because they can't afford more, but because a regulation is stopping them from doing so. To show how important cars are, you would still find a family of five having two cars in countries like the UK where tax is very high. I mean if the cars are needed to conveniently take me to where I can get more money for the family, I don't see any reason not to acquire it.

If the idea is to regulate the unnecessary buying of cars one is not using, then a law should be implemented that penalizes people for packing cars in their garage for a particular number of time without use, especially if the cars are not faulty. Let it be in the form of taxes, and let the taxes be according to the cars worth. I bet you, no one would want to buy a card they won't be using. Knowing full well they might start having to pay monthly taxes of five percent of the total car worth when not in use for a particular number of days.
