The Home Office collects and publishes information on the number of speed limit offences that resulted in ‘driver retraining’, as part of its annual ‘Police Powers and Procedures: Roads policing’ statistical release. The latest data is available here Police powers and procedures: Roads policing, to December 2023 - GOV.UK and covers the calendar year ending December 2023.

In 2022, there were 1,355,293 speed limit offences that resulted in driver retraining. In 2023, there were 1,495,462 speed limit offences that resulted in driver retraining.

Data for 2024 is due to be published in late 2025.
