When it is considered that there are around 2.7 million road-going vehicles currently licensed in Scotland - 30 percent more than ten years ago - it helps us understand why there are thousands of car crash claims in Scotland each year.
This, however, does not mean that car crash claims in Scotland should be considered an inevitability; there are, of course, myriad other factors that make road accidents a reality.
The quality of the road network is one such factor, and it is a very important one. There are around 55,000 kilometres of public road in Scotland, with around 6 percent of this being trunk road. Maintaining the quality of Scottish roads is difficult; for example, in wider Great Britain there is 6.6 kilometres of road per 1,000 members of the population, in Scotland this figure is 10.7 kilometres per 1,000.
Traffic density is another important factor; yet high density does not always imply a high road accident rate. For example, although the volume of traffic in 2008 in Scotland was at its second highest ever level, the level of road-related fatalities was at its lowest recorded level. But, to complicate matters, the incidence of serious personal injuries was higher than in 2007, a year when traffic density was 1 percent higher.
Transport minister Stewart Stevenson comments, "While road accidents are at their lowest for 50 years, too many young people are still dying on our roads.
"As a Government we are constantly looking at ways to target this... and I am determined that we look beyond the traditional and towards the innovative in our efforts to save lives."
