Changes to road casualty statistics: user feedback request

 

1. Overall, do you support the proposed transition from the current Contributory Factors to the new Road Safety Factors within the published statistics?

 

2.

From the 2024 statistics, it is proposed that e-scooter casualty factsheets will be produced once per year as part of the final statistics.  Does this cause any problems with your work?  

 

3. Are you content with the proposed change to calculation of casualty rates at local authority level, to be based on motor vehicle traffic only? 

 

4. Are there any other variables that you think would be valuable to add to either the published data or statistics?  Please provide details if so.

 

5. Are you content with the proposed approach to continuing to leave final figures unrevised following first publication, but introducing a list of fatal collisions which may have been classified differently in light of information received following publication?
