FOI 615-24 Learner Driver Accidents
Enquiry Reference: 615 - 24
I write in connection with regards to your Freedom of Information request. Below is your request and our response.
- How many learner driver accidents have there been in recent years between (05/04/2021) to 05/04/24
1a) of those incidents, whether the collision was with another vehicle or pedestrian
1b) the gender of the learner drivers
1c) the age of the learner drivers
1d) the time of the day the accident occurred
1e) The location of test centres where accidents occurred on test
Having made protracted enquires within the Force we do not have a central register that records this information, it would only be recorded on the occurrence summary if the caller states this; so our answer on this occasion is no information held.
The Cleveland Police response to your request is unique and it should be noted that Police Forces do not use generic systems or identical procedures to capture and record data therefore responses from Cleveland Police should not be used as a comparison with any other force response you receive.
If you are not satisfied with this response or any actions taken in dealing with your request, you have the right to request an independent internal review of your case under our review procedure. The Freedom of Information Code of Practice (see below link) states that a request for internal review should be made within 20 working days of the date on this response or 40 working days if extenuating circumstances to account for the delay can be evidenced. Public authorities are not obliged to accept internal reviews after this date.
