Uk figures for 2004
Deaths and injuries on the road
3,221 people were killed in road accidents in 2004
31,130 were seriously injured
246,489 were slightly injured Taken from
www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk Driving for work
Over one third of all road traffic accidents, about 1,000 deaths a year, involve someone who is at work at the time Ban the use of the roads for work purposes. The govt needs to act NOW!!
Be tough on work and tough on the causes of work, to reduce the deaths???clearly absurd
Don't confuse cause and effect, and deal with the cause.
Motorcyclists
585 motorcyclists were killed in road accidents in 2004
6,063 were seriously injured
Motorcyclists represent 1% of traffic but represent 19% of deaths and serious injuries
Motorcycle riders are over 40 times more likely to be killed than car drivers Now you can see why motorcyles are targetted, tough on motorcyclists and tough on the causes or motorcycling, get bikes off the road, problem gone, simple thinking from simple people who have no concept of the idea of cause and effect.
