Danger driving reports on rise

NEW figures show the parts of the country where people should beware of reckless motorists.

- 

Home Office figures show that police in England and Wales logged more than 6,200 crime reports of dangerous driving in 2024, including 101 offences in Surrey, 13 of which caused a death or serious injury.

Nationally, that was an 8% increase from the previous year. In Surrey, there were five more dangerous driving offences last year than in 2023, but three fewer that caused a death or serious injury.

The figures show that the chances of encountering a dangerous driver vary greatly across the country.
