Driving licence holding still dropping
I've written before about the fact that getting a driving licence is no longer the first ambition of a 17 year old - and consequently licence holding is dropping.
Latest figures from National Travel Statistics, for Great Britain 2009, confirm this.
In 1995/7, 43% of people aged between 17 and 20 had a licence: by 2009 that figure was 36%. The drop has affected the next age cohort too: for those between 21 and 29, in 1995/7 74% had a licence whereas in 2009 it was 65%.
If you just look at males, figures are even more dramatic.
In 1995/7, 50% of those between 17 and 20 had a licence: in 2009 it was 37%. For their elders (21-29) it was 80% in 1995/7 and 67% in 2009.
Next time someone says, "Everyone's got a car these days", tell them!
