In 1972, with far fewer cars on the road, 372 people lost their lives on the roads of Northern Ireland.
This figure fell ever after. In 2009 107 people lost their lives which was good, but not as good as 2010 when the figure plummeted to 55. This disappointingly rose to 59 last year.
So far this year we have recorded the lowest ever quarterly figure...8 have died. This is a tragedy for the families and friends of each one...but is a remarkable drop. We haven't seen a double figure month since December 2009.
But why the big drop over the last 2.25 years? And are other regions experiencing similar?
