Accident rate per 100k population
Published rates retain their own unit; the vehicle denominator is a vehicle register, not distance travelled.
A whole series spans its indicator's published years; a breakdown spans the years it is published for, and opens on the latest of them. A missing year stays unavailable, and a requested year is kept even when it is not published.

- Rates use published values. Rounding limits comparisons; these values have not been recomputed.
- Coverage 2004As from August 2004 most non-injury road traffic accidents are reported only to insurance companies, not to the police; no breakdown of non-injury accidents by age group or sex exists.
- Coverage 2014The historical-series workbook stores fractional accident rates through 2013 and whole-number rates from 2014. Published rounding limits comparisons; MorisLens retains the published values and does not recompute this rate from the mixed-scope population series.
