Driving Offences Chris Grayling To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many motorists were found by police to be driving without (a) a valid UK driving licence, (b) insurance, (c) an MOT and (d) a valid tax disc in each of the last 10 years, broken down by police force. Mr. Coaker I have been asked to reply. Information held by the Office for Criminal Justice Reform on the numbers of court proceedings and fixed penalty notices issued (where appropriate) for offences of ‘driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence’; ‘using a motor vehicle uninsured against third party risks’ and ‘using or keeping an unlicensed vehicle on a public road’, from 1997-2004 (latest available) is provided in the tables. The motoring offences of ‘causing or permitting use of vehicle without test certificate’ contrary to the Road Traffic Act 1988, s. 47 are not separately identifiable, on the court proceedings database, from other similarly grouped motoring offences. 2005 data will be available later this year. --------------------- |Number of offences | --------------------- | |1997|1998|1999|2000|

|1 May include cases where fixed penalty notices were originally issued but not paid and subsequently referred to court.2 Only covers tickets paid where there is no further action.3 Offence under the Road Traffic Act 1988, S,87 (1) & (2) as amended.Notes: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. Work is underway to ensure that the magistrates courts case management system currently being implemented by the Department for Constitutional Affairs reports all motoring offences to the Office for Criminal Justice Reform. This will enable more complete figures to be disseminated.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 limitations are taken into account when these data are used.| | | | |

|1 Offence under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 s. 29 (1) - (3)Notes: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. Work is under way to ensure that the magistrates courts case management system currently being implemented by the Department for Constitutional Affairs reports all motoring offences to the Office for Criminal Justice Reform. This will enable more complete figures to be disseminated.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.| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
