The line graph illustrates car ownership in Great Britain between 1975 and 2005.

Overall, it is clear that the percentage of no car owners showed a downward trend, while the opposite was true for 1 car, 2 cars, and 3 cars. In addition, one car remained the most popular throughout the years.

Looking at the graph from a more detailed perspective, similar proportions of people had no car and one car, with figures of 43% and 45%, respectively in 1975. Thereafter, both figures declined significantly in the first decade. Over the next 20 years, the proportion of single car ownership witnessed an upward trend and finally ending up at 45% in 2005. On the other hand, the percentage of non car ownership continued to decrease to nearly 20% at the end of the period.

In 1975, the figure for people had two cars and three cars stood at 2% and 7%, which were the lowest figures. The percentage of two cars witnessed a remarkable rose, and then gradually climbed to a high of 18% in the final year. Owning three cars also became more common, but it was just slightly increased to nearly 10% in 2005.
