Some of these may have been based on a driver’s own declaration regarding the standard of their vision.</p><p> </p><p>Some Group 2 drivers may have been revoked or refused entitlement to drive both Group 1 and Group 2 vehicles. Therefore, there may be some duplication in the figures. Also, the medical standards for driving Group 2 vehicles are more stringent than those for Group 1. This means that some drivers will have been refused entitlement to drive Group 2 vehicles, but retained their Group 1 entitlement.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Group 1 Drivers</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Group 2 Drivers</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>4,711</p></td><td><p>440</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>5,064</p></td><td><p>620</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>6,960</p></td><td><p>893</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>8,343</p></td><td><p>2,113</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>9,074</p></td><td><p>1,306</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>9,050</p></td><td><p>1,133</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>9,092</p></td><td><p>1,298</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>8,192</p></td><td><p>1,192</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 17/05/2018 10:43:55 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
