The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she has taken to tackle dangerous driving in (a) Romford constituency and (b) England.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

Any form of dangerous driving behaviour is a serious road safety issue. The maximum sentence for dangerous driving is an unlimited fine, disqualification and up to 14 years in prison.

How the police enforce road traffic legislation and investigate road traffic offences is an operational matter for the local chief officer, in conjunction with the Police and Crime Commissioner.
