§ Ms MowlamTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many ordinary driving licences are revoked each year on the basis that the holder's mental ill health is, or may become, likely to cause that person to be a source of danger to the public if he or she drives, pursuant to section 93(1) and section 93(2) of the Road Traffic Road Act 1988; and how many individuals each year are granted ordinary driving licences for a limited period of time on the basis that the applicant's mental ill health is, or may become, likely to cause that person to be a source of danger to the public if he or she drives, pursuant to section 99(1)(b) of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
§ Mr. KeyEach year around 600 ordinary driving licences are revoked and about the same number refused on the basis that the mental health of the holders or applicants was or might become likely to cause that person to be a source of danger to the public. Statistics on the number of restricted period licences issued are not broken down into the type of medical condition/disability that the driver suffers from.
