Default Motorcyclist stats

Ive been wondering what percentage of uk adults have a full motorcycle license? Yes im bored! Cant find it on google strangely, probably because nobody has been so bored as to research it.

Anybody know a rough answer to this?

Actually less than 10%. Some 45 million people in the UK hold some kind of driving licence, and of those about 4 million hold a category A motorcycle licence.

You can ask the appropriate government department

and
https://www.gov.uk/government/upload..._in_the_UK.pdf

is quite an eye opener

Statistics need context. In our house it's 50% and 25% have a full HGV licence.

60% of the time, stats work all the time

I'm the only member of my extended family with both full car and bike licence, although my son has his part 2 next week, so hopefully there will be 2 out of 16 then
