Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many road casualties there have been involving (a) cars, (b) vans and (c) motorcycles per billion miles travelled in the latest period for which data is available.

The Department does not publish information on casualty rates for all casualties involved in road collisions by vehicle type. The published casualty rates are only where the casualty is in the same vehicle type as the relevant vehicle mileage by vehicle type. For example, the car occupant casualty rate only includes car occupant casualties per billion vehicle miles travelled by cars, irrespective of whether the collision may have involved casualties of other road users, such as pedal cyclist casualties and pedestrians.

These casualty rates for users of (a) cars, (b) vans and (c) motorcycles per billion miles travelled in the latest period for which data is available, 2021, is given in the table below:
