text: Although, it might be reducing car production, many people are slimply not purschaing cars as they did in the past. One main reason is becasue many citzens are going through a recession. "As of april 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995." (source 4). This explanation certainly lies in the rescession becasue many Americans now-a-days can not afford new cars and the unemployed werent going to wrok anyways. By limiting car use, many citzens can then not have to always worry about gas money and the "what if", if they get into an accident.
