1. Includes only collisions where a police officer attended the scene and in which a contributory factor was reported
2. collisions with more than one CF in a category are only counted once in the category total.
3. Columns won't sum to 100 per cent as collisions can have more than one CF
4. Includes all contributory factors eg if two cars are involved in the same collision and both are exceeding the speed limit this would count as 2 CFs.
