text: Other countries strictly rely on car reducing to take down the amount of polltuion in the air. Paris days after a near-record pollution forced car reduction to everyone. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined, and many had their cars impounded. People in the capital city of France were starting to get sick and get congestion because of all of the smog, and pollution from cars. For Paris to have car reduction they had to ban any cars with odd numbered license plates from driving for a certain period of time. After all of the pollution in the air had cleared enough they had a party for the people with odd numbered license plates to drive again.
