This Mikrozensus special survey consists of two parts of the traffic statistics: motor vehicles and driving licenses The first part is a repetition of the Mikrozensus special survey from September 1971 (Mikrozensus MZ7103) on motor vehicles and their road performance. The results of this survey were the basis for studies and measure in the fields of traffic policy, road safety and the general transport. By repeating this special survey, new data for these fields is collected. Moreover, changes due to the strong increase in the number of vehicles are are evaluated. More attention, than in the study from 1971, is also given to the energy consumption resulting from the performance of the vehicle. The questions are only on certain types of vehicles which are of special interest due to their road performance (passenger cars, estate cars, motorcycles, mopeds). Preliminary, important vehicle data and personal data of its owner are are collected. Then the questions are on the mileage at the time the vehicle was bought and at the time of the survey, as well as on the last working days and last weekends mileage. Owners of passenger- or estate cars are also asked how many people usually drive the car (as driver or passenger) from Monday to Friday as well as on the weekends and for what what purpose the car is mainly used. Up until now, statistics on driving licenses have only been conducted in some states on varying form (and therefore not really comparable). The results of this survey should provide information for the whole federal territory on the number of people with driving licenses, the data of the acquiring of the licence and the groups these licenses refer to
