Dear ROADACC STATS,

Thank you very much for your response.

Yours sincerely,

Cherry Allan

ROADACC STATS, Department for Transport

Thank you for emailing the Road Safety Statistics team at the Department
for Transport.

 

We aim to respond to all data requests and enquires within 10 working days
of receipt.  Please be aware that during times of peak demand the team may
take longer to respond.

 

Road Safety Casualty Dashboard

The dashboard is an interactive spreadsheet which enables users to explore
our data, and generate their own statistics, based on factors of
particular interest that you select. Guidance is provided on the first
worksheet to help you fully engage with the filters available, such as the
manual selection for casualty age. The Dashboard can be downloaded using
the following link, in a zip file under 2015:
[1]https://data.gov.uk/dataset/road-acciden...

 

Published Statistics and Articles

You may find the answer to your enquiry in our latest publications and
data tables available via:
[2]https://www.gov.uk/government/collection...

 

Our tables are separated into series, with the most commonly requested
series listed below:

Reported road accidents ([3]RAS10)

Vehicles involved in reported road accidents ([4]RAS20)

Casualties involved in reported road accidents ([5]RAS30)

Quarterly statistics on reported road accidents ([6]RAS45)

Contributory factors for reported road accidents ([7]RAS50)

Reported drinking and driving ([8]RAS51)

 

Access to data

Alternatively, you can analyse the data yourself by downloading the
relevant datasets from:
[9]https://data.gov.uk/dataset/road-acciden...

 

Please note that the data for 2005-2009 can be found in the last zip file
under 2014.  Data for 1979-2004 is available as a single download under
2004. 

 

Guidance and supporting documents can be found via:
[10]https://www.gov.uk/government/publicatio...

 

If you have received a call from a company claiming that you were in an
accident

We are aware that a number of claims management companies ‘cold call’
people saying that they have records that you were in an accident. In many
cases they claim to have got your information from the national road
accident database or a governmental body. This is not correct. There is no
national database of accidents with names, telephone numbers and
addresses. Neither the Department for Transport nor any other government
department hold any of this information and would not supply it to anyone
under any circumstances.

 

It is likely that the claims management company has simply dialled your
number randomly. If you are able to get any contact details from them you
can report them through
[11]https://www.gov.uk/complain-about-claims....

 

If you do find your answer, we would really appreciate a quick email to
tell us this.

 

Kind regards

DfT Road Safety Statistics Team

Dear Department for Transport,

Thank you again for your response.

I wonder if you could clarify for me whether your answer to Q3 also includes collisions where contributory factors were attributed to the cyclist, and/or the pedestrian was injured, please?

Yours faithfully,

Cherry Allan

Dear Cherry,

 

The answer to question 3 includes all cases where there was a pedal cycle
causality and a pedestrian was involved whether injured or not. Where the
contributory factor(s) are applied to the cyclist they are included
provided the above is true.

 

Mike
