1. The distance is estimated using the postcode of the house of the driver or rider, if this is available - please see Annex B.
2. 'Other' includes taxis, minibus, bus or coach, ridden horse, agricultural vehicles and goods vehicles.
3. Due to a small problem with a few records, some of the figures in this table will not match exactly those of other tables.
