Driving Offences

Volume 464: debated on Thursday 11 October 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice (1) how many (a) people (i) over the age of 60, (ii) over the age of 25 and (iii) under the age of 25 years, (b) men and (c) women holding a full UK driving licence were convicted of (A) speeding offences and (B) dangerous driving in (1) Jarrow constituency, (2) South Tyneside, (3) the north-east and (4) England and Wales in each year since 1997; (156037)

(2) how many people (a) over and (b) under the age of 25 who did not hold a full UK driving licence were convicted of dangerous driving offences in (i) Jarrow constituency, (ii) South Tyneside, (iii) the north-east and (iv) the UK in each year since 1997.

Information held centrally by my Department on convictions for motoring offences does not identify whether the offender held a UK or other driving licence (full or provisional). Possession of a licence can only be inferred through the nature of specific offences such as driving while disqualified from holding or obtaining a licence, or failing to produce a driving licence. Information is available at police force area level only.
