Key points are: (a) 3,221 people were killed on Britain's roads in 2004, 8 percent less than in 2003. The number of people seriously injured fell to 31,130, also 8 percent lower than in 2003. Total casualties in 2004 were 280,840, 3 percent fewer than in 2003; (b) 5 fewer children were killed on the roads in 2004 than in 2003, a fall of 3 percent. The total number of children killed or seriously injured fell by 5 percent; (c) Provisional estimates indicate that the number of deaths in accidents involving drink driving was 2 percent higher than in 2003, though total casualties in drink drive accidents fell by an estimated 10 percent; (d) Pedestrian casualties fell by 4 percent between 2003 and 2004 and the number of killed or seriously injured pedestrians was down 6 percent. 12 percent of all road accident casualties and 21 percent of those who died in road accidents were pedestrians; (e) In 2004, the number of casualties among users of two wheeled motor vehicles fell by 10 percent compared with 2003, the number of deaths fell by 16 percent to 585, and serious injuries fell by 13 percent; (f) Pedal cyclist casualties fell 2 percent. The number of cyclists killed or seriously injured fell by 4 percent overall, but the number of fatalities increased by 18 percent. Pedal cyclist casualty rates per hundred million vehicle kilometres increased by 14 percent. In addition, the report provides more detailed information about accident circumstances, vehicle involvement and the consequent casualties in 2004, along with some of the key trends in accidents and casualties. There are also two articles. The first monitors progress towards the Government's casualty reduction targets for 2010, and the second covers casualties in accidents involving drink driving.

This volume presents detailed statistics about the circumstances of personal injury road accidents. Some 50 data items are collected by the police STATS19 system for each accident, including the time and location of the accident, the types of vehicles involved and what they were doing at the time of the accident, as well as some information on the drivers and casualties involved. In 2009 there was a reported total of 222,146 casualties of all severities (4 per cent lower than 2009). Of those, 2,222 people were killed in road accidents, 316 fewer (12 per cent lower) than in 2008. It has long been known that a considerable proportion of non-fatal injury accidents are not reported to the police and the current best estimate is that the total number of road casualties in Great Britain each year is around 700,000. In addition to the detailed tables there are seven articles containing further analysis on specific road safety topics: an overview and trends in the police data; valuation of road accidents and casualties; drinking and driving; contributory factors in road accidents; survey data on road traffic accidents, including an overall estimate of total casualties; hospital admissions data on road casualties; road safety research. The statistics in STATS19 were reviewed recently and some changes recommended. Also, a new electronic police accident reporting system, CRASH, for secure collection, validation, transmission and storage of road traffic collision reports, is to be introduced in 2011 and 2012.

This volume presents detailed statistics about the circumstances of personal injury road accidents. Some 50 data items are collected for each accident, including the time and location of the accident, the types of vehicles involved and what they were doing at the time of the accident, as well as some information on the drivers and casualties involved. On average seven people were killed each day in 2008, less than half the rate in 1951. The Department for Transport, the Scottish Government and the Welsh Assembly Government are working on a new road safety strategy for 2010 onwards, which will establish the approach, targets and measures for further reducing road casualties. The known fact that a considerable proportion of non-fatal injury accidents are not reported to the police is reflected in the new title for this annual publication. There are also seven articles containing further analysis on specific road safety topics: a general overview and progress towards casualty reduction targets; a valuation of road accidents and casualties in Great Britain in 2008; drinking and driving; contributory factors to road accidents; comparing police data on road accidents with other sources; an illustrative analysis of linked police and hospital data; an overview of road safety research.

In 2005, traffic collisions killed 3,201 people with almost 29,000 seriously injured on British roads. Although the level of road crash fatalities and injuries has fallen over successive decades and Britain has one of the safest road environments in the world, the numbers still remain far too high and many of these casualties might have been avoided if there was a higher level of compliance with traffic law. The Committee's report examines the road casualty problem, focusing on the role of roads policing and the contribution which enforcement can make to casualty reduction. It considers how technology is influencing the policing and enforcement of particular offences, relating to speeding, drink and drug driving, driving whilst using a mobile phone and driving while impaired by fatigue. The report finds that, despite progress made by the Department for Transport against its 2010 casualty reduction targets, the Home Office has continued to deny traffic law enforcement issues the priority it requires and must explicitly adopt the targets as a key part of its future national policing plans. Investment and research into new technological equipment, such as roadside breath testing equipment and time-distance cameras, and a higher profile and more visible traffic enforcement effort would bring important casualty reductions. However, the efficiencies which technology can bring should not be seen as a opportunity to cut the number of roads police officers, as technology alone cannot carry out the multitude of functions undertaken by roads police officers.

Every day thousands of people are killed and injured on our roads. Millions of people each year will spend long weeks in the hospital after severe crashes and many will never be able to live, work or play as they used to do. Current efforts to address road safety are minimal in comparison to this growing human suffering. This report presents a comprehensive overview of what is known about the magnitude, risk factors and impact of road traffic injuries, and about ways to prevent and lessen the impact of road crashes. Over 100 experts, from all continents and different sectors -- including transport, engineering, health, police, education and civil society -- have worked to produce the report. Charts and tables.
