    It's the "accident" contributory factor data, in tables, out of RCGB
    2006 (958 kb):
    <http://www.dft.gov.uk/162259/162469/221412/221549/227755/rcgb2006v1.pdf>

    (you'll need a pdf reader though!)

    This free office suite will open as far as I know all Microsoft Office
    files. When you download and install it will ask you if you want it
    too open Microsoft stuff - tick yes.

    An indication that is is time to download "open office".which will read
    Excel files fine!

    All right - a set of tables of road accident factors.

    A few plums :

    For all types of vehicle the percentage of accidents with the
    contributing factor of the vehicle red light jumping is the same (1%)

    11% of accidents involving bicycles had the factor of cyclist entering
    road from pavement.

    I have been looking at some of the annual data in this report, does
    anyone know where I can find more historical annual data, i.e. for the
    1960s and '70s.
    e.g. table 2 only provides data every 5 years until 1980, and many other
    tables only go back to 1999 or 1996

    Well, I lost the back wheel on the side of a hump once, and slid about
    10 metres on my hip - would that have counted if the driver behind had
    failed to stop?

    No-one has ever proved that cycle helmets make cycling any safer at
    the population level, and anyway cycling is about as safe per mile as
    walking.

    Just in case you hadn't seen it before......

    Out of 3172 deaths in 2006, 1348 (42.5%) were single vehicle accidents.
    Single vehicle here includes a vehicle killing a pedestrian.

    577 Pedestrians were killed in single vehicle accidents, 3 of which
    involved pedal cycles. 96 Pedestrians were killed in multiple vehicle
    accidents. Which leaves 2 other pedestrian fatalities in 2006.

    One cyclist was injured on a motorway !?!?!?!

    Of the cyclists killed, 12 were single vehicle accidents. Of the two
    vehicles accidents, one involved another cyclist, 2 motorbikes, 78 cars,
    4 buses, 32 goods vehicles, 2 other vehicles. With 15 cyclists killed
    in accidents involving 3 or more vehicles.

    Thanks but no. I'm on a Mac.

    To be fair, I could open the file but I'd have to fire up NeoOffice and,
    frankly, I find the posting of links without any explanation
    discourteous.

    Cheers,

    There was a story in the Lancashire Evening Post a couple of years ago
    about a driver who, swerving to avoid a speed pillow, hit a teenage girl
    and broke her leg.

    It's interesting, someone with the exact same IP as you decided to post
    an abusive comment to my blog today.

    "dude with a life (IP: 82.10.96.28 ,

    Unfortunately, they were too cowardly to identify themselves.

    Also doesn't seem to realise that these days Mac users are quite likely
    to be *NIX techies rather than graphics people.
