* Frequency of driving is only shown for those with a full driving licence. Prior to April 2003, information on driving licence possession was collected from the head of the household of their spouse/partner, about all adults in the household. From April 2003 it is collected from the random adult interview. Figures given here for 1999 to 2002 use only the random adult data.
