Band 7+: A bar chart shows the percentage of men and women in Great Britain who had driving licenses and another bar chart shows the percentage of men and women who were young drivers at the age of 17-20. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The first bar chart illustrates the proportion of males and females having driving licences while the second bar chart demonstrates that of different age groups (17-20) over the 30-year period, starting from 1976.

Overall, it is conceivable that the statistics of the two genders owning driving licences witnessed upward tendencies during the examined period. Additionally, the figure for juvenile drivers (17-20) decreased noticeably between 1996 and 2006.

From 1976 to 1991, there was a slight growth in the percentage of men and women possessing driver’s licences from 70% to 75% while a similar increase was observed in the other half of the period. Furthermore, the data on that of females accounted for nearly one-third in 1976, followed by a two-fold climb to 60% in the final year.

Regarding the male drivers, they took up a half in 1976 prior to declining negligibly to end the period at 45% in 2006. Similarly, the percentage of that of counterparts constituted roughly a third in the first year, and then dropped to one-fifth in the last year.
