Driving: Disqualification

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of people convicted of death by dangerous driving were given a lifetime driving ban in the last 12 months.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

Data on convictions and disqualifications (including lifetime bans) for death by dangerous driving offences is published in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, which can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal Justice Statistics. The data can be filtered on the offence and the period of driving disqualification using the sentencing outcomes tab.

The Ministry of Justice does not centrally hold information on individuals required to take an extended re-test following a conviction of death by dangerous driving.
