E huraina ana i roto i te pūrongo hou a te AAA Foundation ngā whanonga me ngā āhuatanga o te taraiwa o Amerika.
E ai ki tētahi rangahau hou mai i te AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, neke atu i te 17,600 meneti te roa o te noho a ngā taraiwa o Amerika i muri i te urungi o tētahi motuka i ia tau. E kitea ana i roto i te rangahau neke atu i te 87.5 ōrau o ngā Amerikana 16 tau te pakeke, neke atu rānei, i kī mai kua taraiwa rātou i te tau kua hipa. I roto i tēnei wā, tata ki te 10,900 maero te tawhiti i haerea e ngā taraiwa, ā, neke atu i te 290 hāora te roa i pau i runga i te rori.
Ko te American Driving Survey te tirohanga hou me te whānui rawa atu mō te nui o te taraiwa a ngā Amerikana i ia rā, i ia tau hoki. I whakaatuhia e ia ko te katoa o ngā maero i taraiwahia e ngā Amerikana i te tau kua hipa, he pikinga 2.4 ōrau tēnei mai i te tau 2014. E whakaatu ana ētahi atu kitenga o te rangahau:
- I te toharite, e ai ki ngā tāne he 2,314 maero te roa o te taraiwa i ngā wāhine i ia tau, ā, e 18 ōrau te roa ake o te wā e noho ana rātou i muri i te urungi.
- Neke atu i te 86 ōrau o ngā whare o Amerika he kotahi te motuka mō ia taraiwa i roto i te kāinga, ā, 28 ōrau e kī ana he nui ake ā rātou motuka i ā rātou taraiwa.
- He iti ake ngā maero e taraiwahia ana e ngā kaumātua neke atu i te 75 tau te pakeke (5,840 ia tau) i ngā taiohi (7,551 ia tau). Ko te toharite o ngā taraiwa 30-49 tau te pakeke he 13,506 maero ia tau, he nui ake i tētahi atu rōpū tau.
- Ko ngā taraiwa e kī ana e noho ana i ngā wāhi taiwhenua ka taraiwa i ngā maero he nui ake (13,029 ia tau) ki te whakaritea ki ngā taraiwa e noho ana i ngā tāone nui, i ngā tāone iti rānei (10,571 ia tau).
- He nui ake te taraiwa a ngā kaitaraiwa o ngā rohe o te Uru-mā-uru me te Tonga (11,295 maero ia tau) ki ērā o te Tai Rāwhiti (9,328 maero ia tau).
- Neke atu i te 50 ōrau o ngā maero e taraiwahia ana e ngā Amerikana e mahia ana i roto i ngā motuka, ā, whai muri ko ngā SUV (20 ōrau), ngā taraka pikapa (17 ōrau) me ngā van (7.9 ōrau). E ai ki ngā tāne he nui ake te wāhi e taraiwahia ana e rātou i roto i ngā taraka pikapa ki ngā wāhine e kī ana ko te nuinga o ā rātou taraiwa i roto i ngā motuka me ngā SUV.
- Neke atu i te 66 ōrau o ngā haerenga taraiwa katoa, me te tata ki te 62 ōrau o ngā maero katoa i taraiwahia, nā ngā taraiwa kāore he pāhihi i roto i te waka. E 24 ōrau te nui ake o te tūponotanga o ngā wāhine kia whai pāhihi i roto i te waka i tētahi haerenga i ngā tāne.
- I te toharite, ko te nuinga o ngā Amerikana e taraiwa ana i te ngahuru (Oketopa ki Tīhema) he 31.5 maero ia rā, ā, ko te iti rawa o te taraiwa i te takurua (Hanuere ki Poutū-te-rangi) he 26.2 maero ia rā.
A pee i tenei hono ki te ako atu mō te nui o ngā taraiwa a ngā Amerikana i ia tau.
