During the past three years a study of commercial vehicle accidents has been undertaken. This was done on behalf of the motor industry in order to provide a body of information with which to promote a better understanding of the nature of commercial vehicle safety. Two methods of data collection were established. Firstly a series of commercial vehicle fleet accident analyses was undertaken. Secondly an ongoing investigative accident survey was set up in counties adjacent to MIRA. The survey included accidents which involved a heavy commercial vehicle, and in which a person was seriously injured or killed. This was a low volume, high detail survey; 200 accidents were covered over a period of two years.
