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.
