Abstract

The reduction in fatalities was mainly concentrated in the last two months of the year; there were 33 fewer fatalities in November and December 2002 (44) than the same months in 2001 (77). This sharp reduction in fatalities coincided with the introduction of the new Penalty Points system on Thursday 31st October 2002.
