Do these sentences make sense ?
I am interested in learning the use of the verb curb
We should curb the use of car
We should curb the undue use of car
We should curb the excessive use of car
Thanks

Hi,
These look fine.
I would make cars plural because you are talking about cars in general and not just one.
Ae, finish each sentence with a ( . ) period.
Cheers.

Ciao Angela, tutto bene
Looking at your examples, Im guessing that the context is: Person A talks to Person B about stopping the use of a car. With that context, ill type a conversation:
A: You need to stop driving so fast
B: Whats the problem? We were in a rush
A: I know but, I dont wanna risk getting into an accident. If you dont start to slow down, id suggest you just curb driving all together.
In the above example +to curb+ is used like the verb +to stop+
If someone were to explain whats happening in this situation, it may be written like this:
Person A is tired of Person B driving so fast. So, A suggested B curb his/her use of excessive speed.

Your examples look good! "To curb" is essentially just "frenare," "arginare," "limitare"
