BBC publishes map of every UK road death

See what's happened in your area over the past decade

Tweet
Posted: 5 December 2011
by Visordown News

THE BBC have published a map showing every death on UK roads between 1999 and 2010.

In the last 11 years 36,371 people have died on UK roads, however in 2010 that figure was just 1,850, under half of the average from the previous 10 years.

The map has been compiled using unofficial data recorded by the police at the scene of the incident.

The screenshot of the map above shows the A537, a 'notorious' road, popular with bikers. However, it shows just one casualty attributed to motorcycles. You can see the full map here.

What I want to know is; if there has only been one fatality on the A322, as you approach the A30 from Bracknell, in 10 years (which was at the tail end of rush-hour on a weekday) why do they keep sending "safety" camera cars there during the day?

And what's more, having recently had the misfortune of driving through the camera infested misery that is Nottingham (2010 population of 306,700), why does it report 131 deaths whilst a few miles down the M1 the near-identically sized Leicester (2010 population of 306,600) reports only 97 deaths whilst not sucking all the joy and basic freedom out of life by sticking a "safety" camera on every lamppost?

By-Jove, I think they have been lying to us all along about these cash-cows {sorry} "safety" cameras...
