It categorises road traffic collisions into Slight, Serious and Fatal and covers the period between 2005-10, with users able to highlight a particular or multiple year(s).
If it doesn't belittle the devastation that accompanies fatal road accidents, the map is fascinating. I think we all know the areas locally where bad accidents have occurred. Some involved buses and coaches, though mercifully few.

The Lincolnshire Fens make for particularly grim viewing. Lincolnshire suffers from very high road collisions and fatalities, with motorists becoming too familiar with the county's relatively empty roads. The lack of motorways also means all motorists have to negotiate meandering minor roads to get from A to B. We have some very linear dual-carriageways and former Roman roads that make getting from, say, Stamford to Cleethorpes not as arduous as you'd think.
