It also showed they are driving more miles than their parents did decades ago. And in the latest measurement of cars per household this past February, it has gone up to at least 2.1 from the recession number of 1.9. People are actually buying more cars, not less. Fisher didn't include any of this data, and relied on outdated, recession-depressed statistics.Robert Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975969463714952623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-66462494316171380432015-09-08T18:34:49.604-07:002015-09-08T18:34:49.604-07:00G.

The decline of teenage driver's licenses was largely due to stricter laws passed in many states, which have delayed many kids getting their licenses. There were also the recession and high gas prices at the same time, lesser factors. To make the leap from "harder to get a license" to "teens don't want a license" is misleading at best, deceptive propaganda at worst.Robert Dyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975969463714952623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28521945.post-29206040051294662832015-09-07T21:06:30.636-07:002015-09-07T21:06:30.636-07:00So, let's see the results of your "resear...So, let's see the results of your "research".
