1 The interviewer asks whether the person holds a full driving licence (car or motorcycle).
2 The denominator includes people for whom it was not known, or not recorded, what type of driving licence (if any) was held.
$ There are also small numbers described as "at school", "on Government work or training scheme", "unable to work due to short-term ill-health", or "other"
* A percentage has not been given, because it would be based on information which the SHS obtained in respect of fewer than 100 people
