View answerThe number of valid driving licences as at 31st March 2021 is 3,139,565. Of this, 236,891 hold a learner permit and 2,902,674 hold a full licence. A person may however hold a full licence for one category of vehicle, and a learner permit for a different category, so the total number of distinct licence holders as at that time is 3,056,351.
