<p>Government data indicates that claims volumes remain at historically high levels.
Over a similar period data from the Department for Transport shows accident rates
have fallen by around 25%. This is clear evidence that the system is in need of further

will consult on the detail of these reforms in due course and the consultation document
will be accompanied by an impact assessment.</p>
