1. Includes only collisions where a police officer attended the scene and in which a contributory factor was reported.
NB: As described in the text, an collision will be counted once for each combination of CF (excluding "repeats") and death. For example, an collision with four different CFs and three deaths would be counted twelve times in this table - each death would be counted against the first CF, then against the second CF, and so on. As a result, the percentages would total far more than 100%. However, "repeats" are excluded: if the same CF applies to two different participants, each death will be counted only once against that CF.
