Download or read book Reported road casualties Great Britain 2009 written by Great Britain: Department for Transport and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-09-24 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents detailed statistics about the circumstances of personal injury road accidents. Some 50 data items are collected by the police STATS19 system for each accident, including the time and location of the accident, the types of vehicles involved and what they were doing at the time of the accident, as well as some information on the drivers and casualties involved. In 2009 there was a reported total of 222,146 casualties of all severities (4 per cent lower than 2009). Of those, 2,222 people were killed in road accidents, 316 fewer (12 per cent lower) than in 2008. It has long been known that a considerable proportion of non-fatal injury accidents are not reported to the police and the current best estimate is that the total number of road casualties in Great Britain each year is around 700,000. In addition to the detailed tables there are seven articles containing further analysis on specific road safety topics: an overview and trends in the police data; valuation of road accidents and casualties; drinking and driving; contributory factors in road accidents; survey data on road traffic accidents, including an overall estimate of total casualties; hospital admissions data on road casualties; road safety research. The statistics in STATS19 were reviewed recently and some changes recommended. Also, a new electronic police accident reporting system, CRASH, for secure collection, validation, transmission and storage of road traffic collision reports, is to be introduced in 2011 and 2012.

Download or read book Traffic Safety Reform in the United States and Great Britain written by Jerome S. Legge and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, there has been a renewed concern with highway safety, reflected in wide media coverage and new laws aimed at reducing highway deaths and injuries. Legge examines three initiatives that have been studied only in isolation: stricter drinking-age laws, mandated use of seat belts, and deterrents to drunk driving. His research covers three large industrial states-New York, California, and Michigan, as well as Great Britain, each of which uses a different mix of these initiatives. Using a combination of theory and research methodology, Legge tests a number of models on how traffic fatalities might be reduced and offers valuable suggestions for policy makers, researchers, and activists.

Download or read book The Aftermath of Road Accidents written by Margaret Mitchell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accidents on the road are so common place in our lives today it's easy to believe that there are plenty of support systems in place for the victims. Death and injuries on the road are construed primarily as medico-legal phenomena, re-inforced both by the way accidents are described and by issues of insurance and compensation for damage and personal injury. But there are many profound psychological and social consequences that remain underestimated. Margaret Mitchell has compiled this collection from leading researchers to examine this neglected area for the unseen victims: the families who have to cope with bereavement or a disabled relative, the driver who has killed but is medically uninjured. It will be of great direct value to psychologists, psychiatrists and other health professionals and will serve as a useful reference for those in the legal profession, voluntary associations and those with personal experience of road, traffic, accidents needing advice about where to seek further help.

Download or read book UK Energy written by Richard Bending and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1984 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed assessment of the current UK energy situation, future needs and energy policies. Past policies have often taken too little account of uncertainty, and have therefore quickly become outdated. The book concludes that the need for a positive energy policy is increasingly urgent. The book is in three parts. The first part sets the UK in the world energy context, reviews the history of UK energy policy and institutions, and describes the current pattern of fuel use. The second part contains detailed analysis and discussion of UK energy demand and supply. The third part of the book reviews policies for energy conservation and discusses the overall energy prospects for the UK. The concluding chapter examines energy policy objectives, relating them to the problems and issues identified in the book. The authors are amongst the leading authorities on UK energy, and are co-authors of Energy Economics (also published by Cambridge University Press).
