answer text <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 accidents<sup>1</sup> where contributory factor 'Learner or inexperienced driver/rider' reported by severity and country, 2013 to 2017</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="2"><p>Fatal accidents</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="2"><p>Serious accidents</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="2"><p>Slight accidents</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td colspan="2"><p>All accidents</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Number</p></td><td><p>Per cent</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Number</p></td><td><p>Per cent</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Number</p></td><td><p>Per cent</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Number</p></td><td><p>Per cent</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>England</p></td><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>51</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>743</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>3,373</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>4,167</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>36</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>720</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>3,453</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>4,209</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>43</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>686</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>3,305</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>4,034</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>690</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2,767</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>3,487</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>32</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>754</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2,745</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>3,531</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>36</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>171</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>209</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>49</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>172</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>225</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>46</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>146</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>196</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>43</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>161</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>206</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>4</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>47</p></td><td><p>6</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>104</p></td><td><p>3</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>155</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="11"><p>1 Includes only accidents where a police officer attended the scene and in which a contributory factor was reported.
