This group may also contain passengers but probably notmany as “unspecified occupant” was rare for collisions.These have been included in the fatality rate estimate.
Estimates are likely to be a little too high due to the assumption that unspecified occupants are all drivers: an unknown proportion would have been passengers.
Note that these averages include both local roads and motorways/multi-lane divided roadways, where fatality rates are an order of magnitude lower than general purpose roads, but data are not available by age and sex.
This figure is greatly exaggerated by under-measurement of under-aged driving.
These figures are too high as V19.8 is a dustbin code, including some off-highway falls.
Not included in the fatality rate.
Estimates are too low, as some ‘unspecified location’ deaths will have been on-highway.
