2. There may be slight differences between the vehicle types used for road accident statistics and those used for the traffic estimates.

3. A new 'unknown cc' motor cycle category was included from 2013 onwards. Previously these vehicles were mistakenly included in the 'other' category. They are now included with motorcycles.
