Most Americans do less than 5000 miles per year. You totter to the shops and back over distances that people in other countries would just walk.
You can spot American tourists in Scotland, because they can't cope with everything being 200 miles apart when they drive at a maximum of 15mph.
- TylerE 3y agoHuh? The FHWA (Federal Highway Administration) states that the average person drives around 13,500 miles per year.
- Gordonjcp 3y agoThat's an average across the entire population. Most people barely drive further than the end of their street.
