Background information

Statistics on road safety in Great Britain are mostly based on personal-injury collisions reported to the police in the STATS19 data collection. Further information on STATS19, including strengths and limitations, can be found in the guidance below.

Most of the statistics published are accredited official statistics. Road casualty statistics were assessed by the UK Statistics Authority and confirmed as accredited official statistics in July 2009 and again in 2013 with a further compliance check in 2019.
