1 Based on drivers who responsed to the question on car occupancy. Respondents asked for all car stages.
2 Purpose category of 'Other' and current status categories of 'At school', 'Gov't work or training scheme', 'Unable to work because of short-term
illness or injury' and 'Other' have been excluded due to small sample sizes.
3 From 2007 onwards two new categories, 'Go home' and 'Just go for a walk', have been added. See the background note for more detail.
4 Sample size figures will not sum to the total due to non-response.
5 Data for sample sizes of less than 100 are not shown as they are too small to provide reliable estimates.
