Motorcycles: Driving Instruction

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if there has been an (a) increase or (b) decrease in the time and cost to the user to complete the motorcycle test since the introduction of the new testing regime in April 2009.

Answer

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) holds data on the number of accidents and near misses during the motorcycle test for four years. Therefore, it is not possible to determine if there has been an increase or decrease in the number of crashes during the motorcycle rider test since the introduction of the new testing regime in April 2009.

The DVSA is not aware of any analysis regarding the time and costs to the user to complete the motorcycle test since the introduction of the new testing regime in April 2009.
