This publication presents the second estimates of casualties arising from reported accidents involving at least one motor vehicle driver or rider over the legal alcohol limit for driving, in Great Britain in 2015. We published the first 2015 estimate, a range, in August 2016. As more 2015 data are now available the range estimate, published here, becomes more accurate and we can produce a central estimate for the first time. Final 2015 estimates, based on even more complete data, will be published in August 2017. These statistics, especially the number of fatalities, are subject to considerable uncertainty (p. 5). This means that it is impossible to be sure of the precise number of casualties, so ranges and confidence intervals are used throughout the publication. (Author/publisher)
