Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -1. In 1960, nearly 79% of American households owned fewer than two vehicles: Nearly 57% of households owned only one vehicle and more than one-out-of-five households didn’t own a vehicle at all. Only one in forty households (2.5%) owned three or more vehicles.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most recent U.S. Census survey found that 92 percent of American households owned at least one vehicle. What this means for most Americans is that the cost of car insurance is still a necessary expense since it is required in nearly every state.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1960 the USA had 61.6 million registered automobiles. Compare that to 128.3 million cars by 1995, and 253.6 million cars by 2012.
