1. Source: Scottish Household Survey. The interviewer asks whether the person holds a full driving licence (car or motorcycle).
The denominator includes people for whom it was not known, or not recorded, what type of driving licence (if any) was held.
From April 2003, the questionnaire changed such that information on possession of driving licences was no longer collected from the the head of household or his / her spouse about all adult members of the household, but instead from one random adult member of the household about him or herself.
Figures for 1999-2002 may differ from those previously published, as they have been revised to include only information about the randomly selected adult.
