1  One driving licence may include several classes.
2  Trailers with total weight of 750 kg or more.
3  In 1998 there was an increase for some of the driving licence classes, is due to what previously was called the stamp arrangement. That means that many driving licence owners had the privilege to drive light motor cycle, motor vehicle up to 7 500 kg and mini buses, and this right was only indicated by a stamp on the driving licence (stamp arrangement). It was, however, not marked by any letter combination on the driving licence (or in the driving license register). Previously, the statistics did not comprise those who had these rights (the stamp). The figures are not comparable with previous figures.
4  The decline is mainly due to many licence holders not renewing their driving licenses to include these categories before the end of 2001.
5  From 2004 the characters T, M and S are separate characters in the driving licence.
