Updated in July 2024, the DfT’s accredited “accident” statistics reveal that 29,643 human beings were killed or seriously injured in 2023. It’s an estimate of the number of personal injury road traffic casualties in Great Britain reported by the police using the STATS19 reporting system. The figures will change following the end-of-year validation process.
How is this number of disasters remotely acceptable? This is peacetime!
Practically all of these “accidents” are caused by the dangerous rules of the road, and the inadequate driving test, and completely avoidable.
It’s an absolute scandal that traffic authorities and MPs stand by and do NOTHING to treat the root cause instead of the symptoms!
