NB:
1. Some figures for 2004 and earlier years may have been revised slightly from those published previously due to late returns, or due to late corrections being made to returns that had been received earlier.
2. Although records of the numbers of "serious injury" and "slight injury" casualties began in 1950, records of the numbers of injury road accidents did not begin until 1970.
