#motorcyles — Public Fediverse posts

A while back an #environment activist on here (alas, their toot disappeared in timeline) was trying to work out how many people in UK regularly #drive - it is hard to get accurate data!

There are about 34 million private #cars in UK of 42 million #vehicles including #vans, #lorries, #buses, #motorcyles and anything else that needs registration mark from #DVLA GB or #DVA NI

About 43 million people in GB (excluding NI) hold a full #DrivingLicence - but not reliable data for number of drivers as these records include people who have died or emigrated!

And some folk own more than one #vehicle, others have a licence but don't drive - I'd guess at figure for private car drivers being around 25-30 million, but levels of #motoring will vary wildly between regions

#F1 #NotF1 There's no F1 race this weekend. But there are plenty of motosports happening for those of you who enjoy these things. In no particular order:
MotoGP at Le Mans
Formula E at Berlin
WEC at Spa
WRC in Portugal
#Northwest200 bike racing
BTCC from Brands Hatch
IMSA at Lagun Seca

I will be watching the Northwest200 today as it's live on BBC NI/website and a great event. #motorsports #motorcyles #motogp #IMSA #FormulaE #WRC #WEC #BTCC
