The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of trends in the level of dangerous driving offences in Lincolnshire.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Home Office holds information on the number of offences recorded by the police that were classified as death or serious injury - unlawful driving. Lincolnshire Police recorded 23 offences in this category in the year ending December 2025, an increase from 7 the previous year. Nationally, there has been an increase in the number of these offences recorded by the police since the category was amended to include serious injury, as well as death, in April 2023.

Further information on these offences can be found in the Home Office Police Recorded Crime Open Data Tables, available here: Police recorded crime and outcomes open data tables - GOV.UK
