Something that brings that average up, in my view, is the number of classic cars we have on the road. These are vehicles that don't do a lot of driving, but are technically in use.

There's also a lot of people, especially trades, that have company vehicles that they can't use for personal use, so they also have their own vehicle.

Why would we have more classic cars than other countries though?

Good movie, but still. I want it to be about either cars or a type of diving off wharves.
