STATS19 DATA LAB · GREAT BRITAIN
Which road risks persist?
Compare injury-collision outcomes, test geographic persistence and explore the conditions behind the totals.
Comparable road outcomes
The panel contains only authorities with valid, unflagged mileage and outcomes in every released year. Great Britain geography; eligible authority totals are not whole-country totals.
Vertical marks show conditional 95% Poisson intervals. They exclude traffic-estimation, reporting and spatial uncertainty.

Method & limits
STATS19 records police-reported personal-injury collisions on public roads in Great Britain. Damage-only incidents, insurance claims costs and fault are not measured here.
The annual geographic view defaults to the same eligible authorities in every year. Rates divide pooled outcomes by matched mileage. Adjusted KSI means killed or seriously injured casualties; adjusted FSC means fatal or serious collisions. These estimates account for changes in severity recording.
Persistence uses frozen discovery groups, a separate pandemic stress period and later-year comparisons. Common reporting differences and road mix can persist too. Descriptive persistence does not establish a causal effect or insurer pricing lift.
Detailed collision and vehicle records are joined using collision identifiers, retaining unknown categories. STATS19 specification changes around 2024 affect some classifications. Source vintages and code mappings are archived with the dataset.
Every view, export and Actuary Lens interpretation reads the same immutable release. A missing denominator produces an unavailable rate, never zero.
Record-level validation
513,801 collision records · 937,265 vehicle records · 652,821 casualty records.
- Unique collision, vehicle and casualty keys; no orphan records.
- Every collision’s vehicle and casualty record counts reconcile to its reported totals.
- Every dimension, including unknown categories, reconciles to annual source record counts.
- DFT adjusted serious-collision weights are within [0,1]; fatal collisions receive weight 1.
- Vehicle-mile joins use all 11 distinct GB regions and compatible vehicle classes.
- Licensed stock uses Great Britain, Cars, Licensed and four quarter-end observations per year.
- All raw inputs and the source codebook are retained with SHA-256 checksums.
