ROAD ACCIDENT STATISTICS

The book is an account of the methods of collecting and processing data about the occurrence and consequences of road accidents, and gives numerous statistical tables as Examples of the findings. Chapters 1 and 2 contain aggregate statistics from many countries. Chapters 3 to 7 deal with various aspects of data collected by the police about road accidents, and chapters 8 to 13 discuss how medical sources can supplement the police data, especially in respect of the nature of injury sustained. Finally, chapter 14 examines insurance data. The book concentrates on what can and cannot be found in statistics that are routinely collected -special research studies are outside its scope, though naturally reference is made to some. (TRRL)
