9. Accidents and Casualties by Police Force division and Local Authority area (Tables 10 & 11)

9.1 Tables 10 and 11 show the reported numbers of accidents and casualties in each Police Force division and each Local Authority area. These are provisional figures, which are subject to a higher degree of revision from late returns and amendments than the overall national figures. In addition, there can be quite large percentage year-to-year fluctuations in the figures for local authority areas within Scotland, particularly for those with the lower numbers. Therefore, the annual average for 2013 -2017 is shown along with 2004-08 average and the figures for the latest year.
