§ 11. Mr. Freudasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people have been summoned to appear in magistrates' courts charged with aiding and abetting another person to drive a car without displaying a learner sign in each of the past four years.
§ Mr. WaddingtonI regret that the information is not available. Information on prosecutions for aiding and abetting a learner driver to drive without "L" plates is not available separately from prosecutions for the main offence. I understand that were a person driving without "L" plates is accompanied it is common police practice to prosecute both parties, where there is evidence that the pasenger was aware that the driver was not fully qualified.
