Latest provisional data shows road fatalities rose in 2024

Following the publication of this new provisional government dataset: RAC road safety spokesperson Rod Dennis said:
“While overall road casualty numbers appear to have reduced slightly year-on-year, alarmingly fatalities have crept up - led by an increase in fatal collisions involving motorcyclists. It’s also worrying to see pedestrian fatalities at their highest number since before the pandemic, and that men are still three times more likely to be killed on the roads than women.
“This data is yet more evidence of the need for a renewed focus on saving lives on the roads, so we look forward to the publication of the Government’s road safety strategy."
