Police figures

The statistics are compiled from returns made by police authorities. Less severe accidents and injuries are therefore under-represented in the figures.

The preliminary injury figures for December 2003 that are used for comparative purposes in this text and figures presented in the tables 1-5 and 7-9 are compared with final figures for the same period in 2002.
