Statistics



Introduction

This page first appeared on 21 December 2002, in order to make easily available some statistics which might be of use or interest. It was prompted by the publication within the DSA's quarterly magazine "Despatch" of the numbers of drivers disqualified under what has become known as the "New Drivers Act". By reproducing just these statistics, we get a page started, and can add to it later.

If you have any suggestions for what we could include here, please contact us.

Disqualifications under the "New Drivers Act"

Under section 1 of the Road Traffic (New Drivers) Act 1995, which came into force on 1 June 1997, a two year probationary period begins on the date of passing the driving test. Under section 2 of this Act, the normal 12 points for automatic disqualification under the totting-up procedure is replaced by 6 points during this probationary period. The DSA's occasional magazine Despatch has published the numbers of drivers who have been caught by this. Specifically, the numbers who have had their licence endorsed during their probationary period and, following that endorsement, have six or more penalty points, and so have had their licence revoked. The numbers the magazine has published are:
