In reported road traffic accidents in 2013:

road deaths decreased by 2% compared to 2012, to 1,713. This is the lowest figure since national records began in 1926
the number of people seriously injured decreased by 6% to 21,657, compared to 2012
the total number of casualties in road accidents reported to the police was 183,670, down 6% from the 2012 total
total reported child casualties (ages 0-15) fell by 9% to 15,756, compared to 2012. The number of children killed or seriously injured also fell, decreasing by 13% to 1,980, compared to 2012
a total of 138,660 personal-injury road accidents were reported to the police, 5% lower than in 2012
vehicle traffic levels have remained broadly stable with a small increase of 0.4% between 2012 and 2013

Figures for deaths refer to people who sustained injuries which caused death less than 30 days after the accident. A more comprehensive analysis of 2013 casualty statistics will be published later this year in Reported road casualties Great Britain, annual report.

The department’s road collisions website includes maps of the road safety statistics and detailed local authority level data. It will be updated with the 2013 data very soon.

Thinking motorcyclists killed 19% of road casualties. So still safer than cars or being a pedestrian. Motorcyclist fatalities up 1%. Majority of killed in non-built up areas. I'm guessing here higher speed in non-built up areas will be cited.

The difference between the number of miles travelled in a car/on a bike count against bikes..

Cars 240B miles
Motorcycles 2.7B miles

so, off the top of my head a biker death is about 17x more frequent for the miles...

I don't like statistics.
Remember, lies, damn lies and politicians statistics (think I got that right in the end Wink)

I find it stomach wrenching when a politician quotes statistics. It's guesswork which is the biggest liar.

Can be used to prove anything, depends who's decided (paying) what the end result should show.
I could prove black=white but then I'd get run over on the next zebra crossing*

Thumbs Up

Is the increase in motorcycle casualties in 2013 partially linked to the number of riders that rushed to qualify under 2012 rules?

Its even worse if you think about number of miles covered in cars compared to bikes...

If you really worried about this stuff you'd pack in biking.
