.... you should take a look at this article on the BBC News website.It details the fatal road accidents in the UK from 1999 to 2008.
Some quite staggering statistics.... "On average, some seven people are killed every day on the roads in Great Britain. Hundreds more are injured, many of them seriously, often with life changing consequences.
In 2008 alone, 2,538 people died and nearly a quarter of a million were injured.
In the past 10 years, the death toll has amounted to 32,298. As such road crashes are the largest single cause of accidental death for people aged between 5 and 35 years."
Take a look at the maps and put your postcode in, the level of detail is quite chilling, it really brings home just how dangerous a simple thing that most of us take for granted really is.
