<p>The Department does not hold information on how long drivers in reported road accidents
held their licence for. The Department collects data on personal injury road accidents
reported to the police, including contributory factors which the police identify when
they attend the scene. This does not assign blame for the accident but gives an indication
of factors the attending officer thought contributed to the accident. The following
table shows the number and proportion of accidents where the contributory factor ‘learner
or inexperienced driver/rider’ was reported by severity for England and Wales in the
years 2013 to 2017.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="13"><p><strong>Reported
