The specific information requested is not held. However, there are currently around 3.7 million drivers in Great Britain who hold entitlement to drive a motorcycle. The number of licences issued in each of the last three years following a notification of a motorcycle test pass being received by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is shown in the table below:<\/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>

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>

The specification for the data collected by STATS19 is reviewed periodically by the Standing Committee on Road Accident Statistics (SCRAS).<\/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>

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>

These risks have been considered several times since compulsory basic training (CBT) for learner moped riders motorcyclists was introduced in 1990.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4584", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Sugg"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Sugg"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-12-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-12-07T16:12:38.663Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Motorcycles: Driving Licences"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the risks associated with regulations which allow riders to operate mopeds without any training or experience.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4230", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Randerson"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Randerson"} ], "uin" : "HL3545"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/794228", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/794228/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

No estimate has been made. However, there are currently about 380,000 riders who hold a certificate of Compulsory Basic Training (CBT). CBT is valid for two years, during this time learner riders are expected to gain experience and take further training prior to taking their motorcycle theory and practical tests. CBT is valid to ride motorcycles and scooters up to 125cc as well as mopeds.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4584", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Sugg"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Sugg"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-12-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-12-06T12:48:18.07Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Motorcycles: Driving Licences"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of mopeds operating in the fast-food delivery business whose riders have only a provisional licence.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4230", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Randerson"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Randerson"} ], "uin" : "HL3546"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/794229", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/794229/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
