Driving: Disqualification

Asked by Sarah CoombesLabourMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 8 September 2025UIN 74590

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of drivers who have repeatedly committed driving offences have received a lifetime driving ban.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

Data on convictions and lifetime bans for driving offences is published as part of Ministry of Justice data obtained 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 numbers of offenders who have repeatedly committed driving offences and received a lifetime ban.
