- The estimated total cost of all road accidents in Scotland (including damage only accidents) at constant 2012 prices, fell by 38%, from £1,857 million to £1,160 million.
- The estimated number of drink-drive accidents fell by just under four fifths, from about 800 (in 2001) to roughly 490 (in 2011 - the latest year for which estimates are available); it's estimated that the number of people killed in such accidents fell from about 70 to around 20;
Over the longer-term:
- Between 1992 and 2012 (inclusive), 6,619 people were killed, and a total of 396,950 people were either killed or injured, in accidents on Scotland's roads;
- In 1962 (the earliest year for which a figure is available), there were roughly 775,000 vehicles licensed in Scotland, whereas in 2012 the vehicle population stood at 2.717 million. Over the same period, the number of casualties fell from about 26,700 to around 12,700. Therefore whilst the vehicle stock has more than trebled, the number of casualties has actually halved.
