DATA ON ANNUAL KILOMETRES TRAVELLED BY DRIVERS ARE OFTEN USED TO ESTIMATE PERSONAL ACCIDENT EXPOSURE. HITHERTO THE QUESTION OF THE RELIABILITY OF THESE DATA HAS NOT BEEN STUDIED. 154 PRIVATE AND PROFESSIONAL CAR DRIVERS WERE QUESTIONED IN WRITING AND LATER ORALLY ABOUT THE NUMBER OF KILOMETRES DRIVEN EACH YEAR. THERE WAS A TENDENCY TOWARDS OVER- OR UNDER-RATING PREVIOUS DRIVING PRACTICE, AND IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CARE BE TAKEN WHEN SUBJECTIVE STATEMENTS OF VEHICLE MILEAGE ARE USED.
