Data Caveats/Limitations:                                                                       

• There is a possibility that data from mid-January 2018 onwards is incomplete due to problems with the Collisions data we have been receiving.            
• Please note, that from 1st January 2008 -

Damage only Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) will not be recorded unless there is a clear and specified purpose for doing so, specifically:

- Section 170 RTA 1988 not complied with (fail to stop)

- Police vehicle involved

- Other emergency services vehicle responding to an incident are involved

- The collision is one that provides a realistic prospect of securing a conviction against one of the drivers (Threshold Test aspect of the Full Code Test for Crown Prosecutors')

- Single vehicle loss of control

• Also note that from March 2010 -

Non-injury road traffic collisions will not be recorded or investigated unless one or more of the following conditions apply:

(a)  A driver has failed to comply fully with the statutory requirements of the Road Traffic Act, e.g. fail to stop; exchange details

(b)  Allegations have been made at the scene and/or the attending officer considers that there is sufficient corroborated evidence about the manner of driving to prove an offence.

(c) An offence is apparent - i.e. the driver has been arrested for excess alcohol"
