mhu: million hours use, estimated using National Travel Survey average speed for all trips by this mode as not available by age and sex.
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.
Estimates are too low, as some ‘unspecified location’ deaths will have been on-highway.
