| 1 Results to 1994 are from geographical
analysis provided by DVLA. Results for 1995 onwards are estimated using post town area
data. 2 Includes all two wheeled motor vehicles. 3 The figures for public transport vehicles are affected by changes in the taxation arrangements in 1989 and 1995. 4 For years up to 1992 estimates are taken from the DVLA annual vehicle census, from 1993 onwards estimates are taken from the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions Vehicle Information database and are not consistent with previous years. See Notes. 5 Figures from 1989 onwards are for financial years. 6 1993 figures are not comparable with previous years. 7 Figures from 1994 are for financial years. |
