Is is grammatical to use a mass noun after the phrase "the majority of"?



The majority of people who have a church wedding ...



is grammatical because "people" is a countable noun, but, for example, "driving" is not:



The majority of driving is done on country roads or highway.




So, I wonder if it is good English to use a mass noun after "majority of". Is it?
