Four times more traffic means a vehicle accident increase

An increase of almost four times more traffic on British roads since 1961 could be a major reason for the amount of vehicle accidents that are reported on British roads today.

In 2004 there were a grand total of 32.3 million licensed vehicles on our roads and 80% of those were private vehicles, such as cars used for commuting to and from work and pleasure trips. This shows a substantial increase from 1961 when there were just 9 million licensed vehicles on the roads, 59% of which were private cars, and there were far fewer vehicle accidents reported.

Clearly, such large volumes of traffic mean that our roads are becoming over crowded and some drivers are driving with less care and awareness as a result. We see evidence of tailgating and road rage daily, both major causes of road traffic accidents.

But, these figures do not account for all the unlicensed and potentially dangerous vehicles that are still at large on our roads. Unlicensed vehicles may be un-road worthy, without MOTs, road tax and car insurance. These make a huge contribution to our vehicle accident statistics and should not be disregarded.
