    How this individual concern was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to Recipient name withheld; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure of the vehicle ownership system to prevent purchase and retention of cars by unlicensed drivers

    Wider context from the report

    “While it may not have prevented Amy’s death, it seems illogical and indeed incomprehensible to me that the system allows a person to buy a car without having a licence to drive it. In this case there was no evidence that Mr Wheatley had ever held a driving licence. I recognise that currently, the DVLA are responsible for the statutory instrument 1999/2864 which covers matters around driving entitlements and that vehicle ownership/registered keepers are catered for under an Act of Parliament (the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994) and therefore significant change in the law would be needed. However, I suspect that the public would find it difficult to understand how someone can buy and keep a car without having a licence to drive the vehicle. ”
