The line graph shows variations in car ownerships measured by the percentage of households in Great Britain over a 40- year -period.

As can be clearly seen from the graph, in 1961 , a majority of 65% of households possesed no car ,over one – third (33%) of households had 1 car and no household owned 2 or more cars.

Twenty years later ,however, as the percentage of having no car had dropped by 1981 to a low of 35% , families with one car reached to its peak of 50% and those with more than two cars soard to a high of 15%  in the same period.

In 2001 , the percentage of households owning no car dipped to below the 30% mark where it met the similar figure of those with more than 2 cars.The ownership of one car, understandbly , also declined steadily to a low of 45%.

In brief, after 40 years , more and more households in this European country had at least a car and an acelerating tendency of owning more than two cars was getting popular.
