Leeds' worst drivers revealed as new tool shows how many live near you

One in seven drivers have penalty points on their licences in Leeds with one motorist even having 42, this new tool will help you find out how dangerous the drivers in your area are.

In LS9, which covers Burmantofts, Cross Green, and East End Park, there are 2,124 drivers with at least one penalty point on their licence. That’s 14.3% of the 14,852 registered licence holders in the area, the highest proportion in Leeds.

From next year new rules are coming into place which mean even touching your phone screen could see you hit with up to six penalty points. You will also be subject to a £200 fine.
