1. Includes a small number of 'unknown' and 'other' types of vehicles.

2. There may be slight differences between the vehicle types used for road collision statistics and those used for the traffic estimates.

3. A new 'unknown cc' motor cycle category was included from 2013 onwards. Previously these vehicles were mistakenly included in the 'other' category. They are now included with motorcycles.

1. Includes a small number of 'unknown' and 'other' types of vehicles.

2. There may be slight differences between the vehicle types used for road collision statistics and those used for the traffic estimates.

3. Due to changes in the the way casualty severities are recorded, figures for serious casualties in 2019 are not comparable with previous years.
