answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2018 answer text <p>Information about licence holding is not a variable in the STATS19 reporting system, which is the set of data that has to be collected for statistical purposes by a Police Officer when a personal injury road accident is reported to them. The variables to be collected by the police are defined by the STATS19 specification, and the police provide this information through the Annual Data Requirement.</p><p> </p><p>Data on licence holding is only reported voluntarily by certain police forces which use the CRASH (Collision Recording And Sharing) software developed by DfT, and the data are not made available publicly. CRASH is used by about half of the police forces in England, and not all of these collect the licence holding information.</p><p> </p><p>The specification for the data collected by STATS19 is reviewed periodically by the Standing Committee on Road Accident Statistics (SCRAS).</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 08/01/2018 17:06:09 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2017 answer text <p>Only car drivers who passed a driving test before 1 February 2001 are permitted to ride a moped without first completing Compulsory Basic Training. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has not carried out a specific assessment of the risks associated with this regulation that allows such persons to operate mopeds without any training or experience.</p><p> </p><p>However, we believe that the number of people who take advantage of this provision is very small and the number will reduce slightly every year as older drivers in the cohort stop driving.</p><p> </p><p>These risks have been considered several times since compulsory basic training (CBT) for learner moped riders motorcyclists was introduced in 1990.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 07/12/2017 16:12:38 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
