DRIVING TO WORK OR FULL-TIME STUDY

Of the 8 million people who used a private motor vehicle to travel to work or full-time study, most did so as a driver or rider (94%) (table 4.2). The age group least likely to use a private motor vehicle (driver or passenger) to get to work or full-time study was 18-24 year olds (65%) (table 4.4).

People most likely to take passengers when driving either to or from work or full-time study were those aged 35-44 years (32%) (table 4.8). Dropping children at school (41%) and working or studying with or near the passenger (34%), were the two most common reasons why passengers were taken (table 4.9).
