The line graph illustrates the proportion of car ownership in the UK during the given period from 1975 to 2005.
As can be seen from the graph, while the percentage of people who owned two or three cars saw upward trends, the opposite was true for no car ownership. In addition, having one car was the most common situation over the period.
In 1975, nearly half of the UK population had one car, which was higher than the figure for no car. For the following ten years, the proportion of people having one car or no car declined, with 37% and 25% respectively. The rate of two cars or three cars ownership took up 7% and 3% respectively, and both experienced increases to around 14% and 5% respectively in 1985.
Over the next twenty years, the rate of those with one car climbed to 45%, whereas the figure for no car ownership continued to fall to 22% in 2005. The percentage of people having three or two cars continued to grow to 9% and 18% respectively over the following twenty years.
