Road safety statistics: topic summaries and ad-hoc reports

Road safety factsheets relating to specific road user groups and any one-off or ad-hoc statistics

This page contains factsheets based on road casualty data collected via the STATS19 survey, and ad-hoc analysis on road safety topics. Details on the coverage of the STATS19 collection is available from the coverage and definitions section of the road casualty statistics guidance page.

This page is updated as new factsheets are available. We welcome suggestions for topics of interest by email to roadacc.stats@dft.gov.uk.

Factors contributing to collisions

Following the most recent STATS19 review contributory factors (CFs) are being replaced by new road safety factors (RSFs), in some police forces from late 2023 onwards. This has resulted in a break in the time series for some of the data from 2024. As a result, the fatal 4 factsheet has not been updated. Further details can be found in our road safety factors guidance.

Road safety factors: an initial analysis of the potential impact on the published statistics of the transition to the new road safety factors.

Fatal collisions: analysis of the ‘fatal 4’ factors (speed, alcohol and drugs, seatbelt non-wearing and mobile device use) presented using the new road safety factors classification.

Driver behaviours (drink, drugs, seatbelts, mobile phone use)
