(1) In relation to ACT road crash statistics for the years 2000-2012, how many motor vehicle crashes occurred in each year.

(2) How many road fatalities occurred in each year referred to in part (1) and which types of road users were involved.

(3) Can the Minister provide a breakdown of crash numbers for each of these years based on the age of motor vehicle drivers including a breakdown of the number of (a) learner drivers, (b) provisional licence holders and (c) drivers aged 75 or over.

(4) Can the Minister provide a list of the roads/intersections in Canberra where there are the most crashes and the number of crashes at these sites.

Ms Gallagher: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

Crashes are either reported online by the ACT Policing/the public or received as hard copies at police stations. Roads ACT collects/receives these reports and enter them in a database before undertaking the analysis. There is therefore always a time difference between when crashes occur and when the analysis is undertaken. Analysis of the 2012 data is not undertaken until February 2013 when all crash reports are available. Details of fatal crashes are however always available.
