Dangerous Driving: Death
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of drivers accused of death by dangerous driving have pleaded exceptional hardship.
Answered by Jake Richards
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on prosecutions for a wide range of offences, including causing death by dangerous driving in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal justice statistics - GOV.UK.
The Ministry of Justice does not centrally hold information on those who pleaded exceptional hardship. This information may be held in court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.
