request for Information on Non stop and uninsured collisions

The request was successful.

Dear Devon and Cornwall Constabulary,
I am conducting research on a national basis into uninsured / non-stop collisions and am surveying forces across the country to ascertain the scale of the issue.
I am aware of Stats 19 data but much of the below data is not available from DfT via stats 19 on a force by force basis hence the request in this format.
Can you please provide the following data relating to non-stop Road Traffic Collisions in your force area.

1) Number of RTC’s reported year by year in your force area for the period 2014 – 2019
2) Breakdown of those RTC’s into Fatal, Injury, Damage only year by year
3) Number of RTC’s classified as non-stop in your force area for the period 2014 – 2019 Broken down into Fatal Injury, Damage Only year by year
4) Number of RTC’s classified as non-stop where an offender was traced and subsequently prosecuted for offences of failing to stop, / failing to report a collision for the period 2010 – 2019 broken down to Fatal, Injury and Damage Only
5) Number of Fatal RTC’s where a vehicle failed to stop for the period 2014 – 2019 and total number of deceased from those fatal RTC’s
6) Number of non-stop fatal RTC’s 2014-2019 whereby no driver was ever prosecuted for FTS
7) Number of RTC’s where at least 1 driver / vehicle was shown as uninsured for period 2014 – 2019 and number prosecuted year by year
8) Number of Fatal RTC’s whereby at least 1 driver / vehicle was uninsured and total number of fatalities from these RTC’s for the period 2014 – 2019

Yours faithfully,

Paul Bennett

Dear FOI,
Thank you for your swift response which is greatly appreciated.
I understand the demands placed upon you and would be extremely grateful if you could provide the data in response to questions 1,2,3 and 5 as you have outlined should be feasible.
I hope that this reply is acceptable, rather than having to submit an additional FOI request, which may place further burden on you.
I think using PNC and QUEST would allow some additional results, with minimal impact, but accept your decision and do not wish to cause any grief
Once again please accept my thanks for you assistance. I do intend to publish the final results from across the country in due course and will be happy to share the national picture with the roads policing leads for your force if they would like.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Bennett
