text: Source four says that recent studdies suggest that Americans are buying less cars, they're getting fewer licenses as the years go by. Researchers wonder, "has America passed peak driving?" Why is that? The United States has been the car culture. As said in the article, "it is the birthplace of Model T; the home of Detriot; the place where Wilson Pickett immortalized "mustang sally" which is also a cool song. How is it that we are buying less cars and not getting our licenses? My theroy, car crashes. Unrealted to pollution or money, but I think everyone has that fear in their head about car crashes killing them or taking the life of their teenager, so they stop driving. In reference to me, my mother won't allow me to drive untill I am 18 years old, the legal age to drive is 16. You can get your permit when you're 15 years old, only being allowed to drive with a driver over the age of 21. What's stopping everyone?
