1. For years up to 1992 estimates are taken from the DVLA annual vehicle census;
from 1993 onwards estimates are taken from the Department for Transport, Local
Government and the Regions' Vehicle Information Database and are not consistent
with previous years: see "Sources".
2. A change in the level of vehicle excise duty for taxis and hire cars in the
1989 budget led to a fall in the number licensed as public transport vehicles.
For years up to 1994 estimates of public transport vehicles include some with
8 or fewer seats. From 1995 onwards estimates include only those vehicles with
more than 8 seats.
3. From 1 October 1990, goods vehicles up to 3,500 kg gross vehicle weight were
transferred from the "Goods" taxation group to the Private and Light Goods group.
