However, attending police officers can record up to six factors that they believe contributed to collisions as part of the STATS19 dataset. Officers do not need to carry out a full investigation of the collision before allocating factors, usually using professional judgement about what they can see at the scene.</p><p> </p><p>In 2022, there were 1,930 road collisions for which police assigned ‘Illness or disability, mental or physical’ of a driver or rider as a contributory factor towards the collision.</p><p> </p><p>This contributory factor ‘Illness or disability, mental or physical’ is defined as a driver or rider either suddenly overcome by illness (e.g., fit or blackout) or generally affected by illness (e.g., cold or flu), or suffering from a permanent disability, which contributed to the collision. This also includes where a driver or rider sneezing or coughing contributes to the collision, as well as poor mental health (e.g., depression).</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 14/12/2023 11:31:14 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
