Dangerous Driving: West Midlands

Asked by Sarah CoombesLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 19 December 2024UIN 20316

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many deaths were caused by illegal street racing incidents in the West Midlands in the last ten years.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Statistics and data on road injury collisions and casualties reported to and recorded by police are collected via the data collection system known as STATS19. While STATS19 collects information on the collision circumstances, vehicles involved and contributory factors, it does not identify when collisions are the result of illegal street racing incidents.
