Overall these statistics show a ten to one ratio of in-vehicle accident deaths between the least safe and most safe models of car. The statistics show that for popular, lightly built cars occupants have a 6%-8% chance of death in a two car accident. (e.g. BMW 3 series 6%, Subaru Impreza 8%, Honda Accord 6%). Traditional "safety cars" such as the Volvo s halve that chance (Volvo 700 4% incidence of death, Volvo 900 3%). Despite poor performance in theoretical tests and criticism from media pundits SUV s fare much better than 'safety cars' with the Jeep Cherokee and Toyota Land Cruiser giving 2% incidence of death in actual crashes. Overall the four best vehicles to be in are the Jaguar XJ series 1%, Mercedes-Benz S-Class / SEC 1%, Land Rover Defender 1% and Land Rover Discovery 1%. Motorcyclist deaths withing the England and Wales stand at 65% of the annual road death statistics, however scooters/mopeds up to 50cc only account to 3% of those deaths. Scooter/moped deaths where also founded that 2% of the scooter deaths were 17-19 year olds who had not taken the CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) (Statistics taken from DSA road deaths of 2005) |
