1. One-way tolls were introduced for Tay bridge (1 June 1991) and Forth bridge (1 September 1997) so total crossings after these dates have been estimated by the Scottish Executive. The Skye bridge opened during October 1995. See notes and sources.
2. The figures for vehicles licensed for 1974 to 1978 are on different bases, due to the effect on the annual "census" of the transfer of licensing records from local offices to the then DVLC
3. Vehicles licensed figures for 1983 are not directly comparable with those for previous years due to changes in taxation classes.
4. For years up to 1992 estimates are taken from the DVLA annual vehicle census, from 1993 onwards estimates are taken from the Vehicle Information Database and are not consistent with previous years.
5. New registration results to 1994 are taken from geographical analysis provided by DVLA. Results for 1995 onwards are estimated using post town area. data. The vehicle taxation system was subject to major revisions from July 1995.
