The number of Group 1 (car/motorcycle) and Group 2 (Bus/lorry) drivers whose driving entitlement was revoked or refused for medical reasons in 2018 is provided in the table below:

Year

Group 1

Group 2

2018

61,482

12,242

It should be noted that there may be a number of drivers who would have been revoked or refused for both Group 1 and Group 2 licences, and therefore may be duplicated in the figures above.
