The personal details of three million UK learner drivers have been lost in Iowa. The UK Transport Secretary told members of Parliament that the data was housed on a hard drive in the Iowa City offices of Pearson Driving Assessments Ltd., a company employed by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. The learner drivers information went missing when the hard drive was lost in May. The records contained the name of the test applicant, their postal address, and telephone number but no details of any individuals bank account or credit card. The Information Commissioner had said the case did not appear to present a substantial risk to individuals.
