The line graph shows differences between the distance in terms of kilometers when commuting by car in five countries from 1990 to 2010.
Overall, the distances traveled per car driver in the US and Britain both witnessed an upward trend while the opposite pattern is true for the remaining countries. Of the five countries, The US would remain as the top-car user for traveling.
In 1990, by far the highest average distance belonged to the US, at 1700 km,100 km higher than the figure of Germany and 400 km higher than that of Britain. The next place went to France, with 1000 km, 1.4 times higher than the figure of Japan.
Thereafter, the average distances substituted in the US and Britain both vastly increased with the respective figures, at 1800 km and just over 1400 km, despite some slight fluctuations occurring during the period. Conversely, the figures for Germany and France both remained unchanged in the first 15 years before experiencing a modest decline to roughly 1300 km and 900 km, respectively. Finally, the average distance of Japan fluctuated extremely to 400 km at the end of the period after decreasing to 500 km between 1995 and 2000.
