Final estimates for 2013 show that between 220 and 260 people were killed in accidents in Great Britain where at least one driver was over the drink drive limit, with a central estimate of 240 deaths. This publication presents 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 2013 and 2014. Figures are derived from the Stats19 forms completed by the police plus toxicology data for road fatalities from coroners and procurators fiscal. These statistics, especially the number of fatalities, are subject to considerable uncertainty (page 13). 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)
