Data on court proceedings for 2008 will be available in the autumn of 2009.
Additionally, there were 6,651 fixed penalty notices issued for the offence in 2006. Data on FPNs issued in 2007 are due to be published in early 2009.
Number 2006 267,673 2007 232,811 1 It is known that for some police force areas the reporting of court proceedings, in particular those relating to summary motoring offences, may be less than complete. 2 Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.
