Dangerous Driving: Driving Licences
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what (a) proportion and (b) number of people imprisoned for death by dangerous driving obtain a driving licence within five years after release.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The information requested is not held. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is not informed when an individual is released from prison, and endorsements ordered upon conviction by the courts for the offences of causing death by careless driving or causing death by dangerous driving are removed from the driver’s record after four years in line with the retention periods for these offences.
