They give an indication of which factors the attending officer thought contributed to the accident. Officers do not need to carry out a full investigation of the incident before allocating contributory factors; they usually use professional judgement about what they can see at the scene.</p><p> </p><p>Not all accidents are included in the contributory factor data; only accidents where the police attended the scene and reported at least one contributory factor are included. A total of 73% of accidents reported to the police in 2016 met these criteria although each accident can have multiple contributory factors attributed to them.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/02/2018 16:45:50 question first ministerially corrected 15/03/2018 15:22:13 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman previous answer version 43590 answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
