Motorcycles: Convictions

Asked by Joe RobertsonConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 11 June 2025UIN 57194

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of (a) moped and (b) motorcycle riders with provisional licences who have been convicted of (i) road traffic offences, (ii) robbery and (iii) drug trafficking in each of the past 5 years.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency will be able to provide the information in relation to road traffic offences, but this requires a scan of the driver database. Officials will write to the Honourable Member as soon as the information is available.

Information about robbery and drug trafficking offences is not recorded by the DVLA.
