HC Deb 06 April 1982 vol 21 c325W
Mr. David Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how the accident record of goods vehicles compares with the record for cars.

Mrs. Chalker

Car involvements in injury accidents per kilometre of travel are 15 per cent. higher than for light vans and 60 per cent. higher than for heavy goods vehicles. Fuller details are given in table 8 of "Road Accidents Great Britain 1980", a copy of which is available in the Library.
