• We are defining a crash to include single vehicle collisions e.g. bike and pothole.

    So getting hit by a car doesn't count? Or do you mean you don't have to be hit by a car for it to count as a crash?

  • (Obviously not speaking for RoadPeace but I know what they mean here.) No, getting hit by a car counts--'we [...] include'. Single-vehicle crashes are often ignored in stats, as many don't get reported, e.g. many people feel that if they crash without another vehicle being (directly) involved, it must be their fault. However, there are a large number of extraneous factors that can influence your likelihood of crashing 'on your own'--from the behaviour of other vehicle users even if they don't crash into you, to all sorts of environmental factors also worth considering--and those are always worth getting information about.

  • Ah ok, thanks. And that's good, definitely. I'd just sent the link to someone who has been hit by several vehicles.
