1One driving licence may include several classes. 2Trailers with total weight of 750 kg or more. 3The large increase in the figures 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 motorcycle, 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). When the driving licence register was re-adjusted in 1998,
the stamp arrangement was unrolled. 4The decline is mainly due to many licence holders not renewing their driving licenses to include these
categories before the end og 2001.
