NOTES :

The use sf similar symbols indicates a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p < .001).

1. The proportion of the licensed driver group in various demographic ~ and biographic categories were calculated from the equation: . .

(Driver Sub-set C X .22) i (Driver Sub-set E X .02) + (Driver Sub-set G X .76).

2. The proportions of the unlicensed driver group in various demographic and biographic categories were calculated from the equation: (Driver Sub-set C X .l8) + (Driver Sub-set G X .82).

3. Of the Unlicensed drivers, 55 per cent had never been licensed before. 4. Figures refer only to drivers involved in a casualty crash; drivers

identified by patrol procedures are excluded.

5. These categories are not mutually exclusive and therefore do not add to 100 per cent.

1. Taken from Driver Sub-sets C, E and G, where a drink-driving charge was heard but no disqualification of driver's licence was recorded.

Calculated Relative Frequencies from the equation:

(Driver Sub-set G X .93) + (Driver Sub-set E X .02) + (Driver Sub-set C X .05) No corrections were made for metropo1itan:rural distribution because of the small sample sizes.

2. Taken from Driver Sub-set K, Drivers Disqualified from Driving in 1977.
