	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2024 answer text <p>Out of millions of trips completed since e-scooter trials began, the vast majority of journeys have been completed safely.</p><p>From 2020, DfT has been monitoring the frequency of casualties involving e-scooters. The majority of DfT reported road casualty statistics are based on STATS19 data, the system through which the police report road casualties. STATS19 collects data on e-scooter casualties, including those using private scooters, with data published regularly in e-scooter casualty factsheets. The most recent e-scooter factsheet can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casualties-great-britain-e-scooter-factsheet-year-ending-june-2023/reported-road-casualties-great-britain-e-scooter-factsheet-year-ending-june-2023" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/reported-road-casualties-great-britain-e-scooter-factsheet-year-ending-june-2023/reported-road-casualties-great-britain-e-scooter-factsheet-year-ending-june-2023</a>.</p><p>In addition, the Department routinely publishes data on casualties in reported road collisions using all other modes of road transport based upon data provided by police forces via the STATS19 system, including figures for bicycles, motorcycles, cars, HGVs and LGVs. A comparison of the casualty rates for different modes of travel can be found here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/657c4a0983ba380013e1b610/ras0203.ods" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/657c4a0983ba380013e1b610/ras0203.ods</a>. Data from STATS19 (2022) found the severity of injuries for e-scooters and pedal cycles to be broadly similar. The most common injuries across both modes were abrasions, sprains, and bruising.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 12/03/2024 12:48:47 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne previous answer version 22161 answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne
