Young drivers don’t have the most penalty points

DVLA information reveals other age groups have more penalty points.

A Freedom of Information request to the DVLA has revealed that there are fewer young drivers with 12 or more penalty points than might be thought.

The data, which was requested earlier this year by the Co-operative Insurance and shows a snapshot of the DVLA’s records on 2ndFebruary 2015, shows that there are more drivers in the 26-35, 36-45 and 46-55 age brackets with 12 or more penalty points compared with drivers aged 25 and under.
