Malta had the lowest rate of road fatalities in the European Union in 2021. That year, 1,000 more people lost their lives on roads in the European Union, up by about five percent between 2020 and 2021.

Fatal accidents and casualties were significantly more expensive than either serious or slight accidents in the United Kingdom in 2020. That year, on average, a fatal accident resulted in over almost ********* British pounds of prevention costs. The cost of slight accidents was substantially lower, but not insignificant, reaching some ****** Great British pounds. Driver’s error most common factorThe most common cause for any type of accident was a driver’s reaction error, with incidents caused by actions such as sudden braking or swerving, where a police officer had to attend a scene. Of these, a driver or rider failing to look properly was the most frequent cause of an accident. Road accident total costs increase in 2018Total prevention costs from reported road accidents amounted to **** billion British pounds in 2018. Between 2010 and 2018, figures had grown by approximately * percent, while the lowest figure had been recorded in 2013. The number of car drivers involved in road accidents in Great Britain is on the decline.
Recent trends in reported road casualties in Great Britain have been impacted by the national restrictions implemented from March 2020 onwards following the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Figures for the year ending June 2021 show:

There were around 33.2 million passenger cars in operation in the United Kingdom in 2022. UK roads have become busier since experiencing the most significant decline in the aftermath of the 2008-09 financial crisis. It remains to be seen whether the coronavirus crisis will cause a similar dent in the graph.
Car ownership per household
The majority of car owners in the UK have one car available to them. As of 2018, 53 percent of motorists had one vehicle in their household. Only one percent of respondents owned five cars or more.
Road safety The number of car drivers involved in reported road accidents in Great Britain fell to a record-low of just under 160,000 in 2019. The age group of under 16 year olds witnessed a sharp drop in the number of traffic-related fatalities in 2019. That said, all other age groups reported an increase in fatalities between 2018 and 2019.
In reported road traffic accidents for the year ending September 2014:

As a result of the continued annual growth in global air traffic passenger demand, the number of airplanes that were involved in accidents is on the increase. Although the United States is ranked among the 20 countries with the highest quality of air infrastructure, the U.S. reports the highest number of civil airliner accidents worldwide. 2020 was the year with more plane crashes victims, despite fewer flights The number of people killed in accidents involving large commercial aircraft has risen globally in 2020, even though the number of commercial flights performed last year dropped by 57 percent to 16.4 million. More than half of the total number of deaths were recorded in January 2020, when an Ukrainian plane was shot down in Iranian airspace, a tragedy that killed 176 people. The second fatal incident took place in May, when a Pakistani airliner crashed, killing 97 people. Changes in aviation safety In terms of fatal accidents, it seems that aviation safety experienced some decline on a couple of parameters. For example, there were 0.37 jet hull losses per one million flights in 2016. In 2017, passenger flights recorded the safest year in world history, with only 0.11 jet hull losses per one million flights. In 2020, the region with the highest hull loss rate was the Commonwealth of Independent States. These figures do not take into account accidents involving military, training, private, cargo and helicopter flights.
On 1 April 2025 responsibility for fire and rescue transferred from the Home Office to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
This information covers fires, false alarms and other incidents attended by fire crews, and the statistics include the numbers of incidents, fires, fatalities and casualties as well as information on response times to fires. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) also collect information on the workforce, fire prevention work, health and safety and firefighter pensions. All data tables on fire statistics are below.
MHCLG has responsibility for fire services in England. The vast majority of data tables produced by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government are for England but some (0101, 0103, 0201, 0501, 1401) tables are for Great Britain split by nation. In the past the Department for Communities and Local Government (who previously had responsibility for fire services in England) produced data tables for Great Britain and at times the UK.
