| Hi Peter, That figure is taken from this website: https://www.brake.org.uk/get-involved/take-action/mybrake/knowledge-centre/uk-road-safety#:~:text=Every%20death%20and%20serious%20injury,%2C%20ages%2C%20and%20road%20types. Which gets its statistics from The Department of Transport. Here are two links relevant to this conversation: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casualties-great-britain-annual-report-2023/reported-road-casualties-great-britain-annual-report-2023 https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casualties-great-britain-pedestrian-factsheet-2023/reported-road-casualties-in-great-britain-pedestrian-factsheet-2023 And here are some statistics, for those not wanting to follow the links: Pedestrian fatalities: 2023: 405 2004: 671 Seriously injured: 2023: 6,067 2004: 10,042 Police recorded that: Exceeding the speed limit was a contributory factor in 22% of deaths Travelling too fast or exceeding the speed limit was a contributory factor in 27% of deaths |
