ROAD ACCIDENTS SCOTLAND 2000

ERRORS IN THE PREVIOUS EDITION

We apologise for the following errors, which we subsequently found in the statistics published in the previous edition:

Table 36, page 101: In the age group '70 and over' for Taxis, the rate per thousand population, 'All Severities', incorrectly showed 0. The figure should have been 0.2.

Table 38, page 107: This should have carried a footnote indicating that the total for a casualty class may differ from the sum of the age groups in that casualty class. This is because the total will include casualties whose age was not known.

We regret any problems or inconveniences caused by these errors.

As mentioned in the Introduction, the statistics given here for 1999 and earlier years may differ slightly from the previously published figures for those years, due to (e.g.) Police Forces submitting late returns, and revisions to returns which had been made earlier. However, such changes are not regarded as "corrections" to "errors" in the previous edition, because the tables and charts in the previous edition had been prepared correctly from the underlying data as they stood at that time.
