(1) Baseline for 1/3 casualty reduction by year 2000
(2) Motor cycle includes all two wheeled motor vehicles
(3) Comparisons of the figures for 1999 and earlier years are affected by a change in the way in which motor caravans are counted: for years up to 1998 they are included under 'minibus'; for 1999 they were counted in 'other' (see Annex B).
