** Percentages based on a denominator of 50 respondents or fewer are not shown.
* Denominator includes people for whom it was not known, or not recorded, what type of driving licence (if any) was held.

Estimates based on smaller sample sizes may be subject to larger levels of variation and therefore may see relatively large fluctuations over time
