Accident stats - recent

[colyvon]

What is strange to me, is that numbers seem to have increased in the winter months, I would have expected them to drop as less people ride daily in the winter months. Acknowledged, this is only part of a one year cycle, so maybe there are just more bikes on the road, or could it be that cold weather causes slower reaction times and misty visors/windscreens add to visibility problems?

Edit. Could cold tyres be a contributing factor?

It could purely mean that, during winter, more people call the other ambulance service.

Just showing how useless it is to try and use stats when, not in context, especially for Think Bike.

I vote for AMZ to start making official stats for Think Bike!

Stats were given on the 15th or each month, i.e. Jan 15, then Feb 15, then March 15. It seems this provider takes stats from 16 of one month to 15 of the next.

As at Jan-15 we had 15 calls
As at Feb-15 we had 10 calls
etc.

Which provider?

The one whose figures you listed.

Nope, the stats run from the 1st to the end of the month.

Jan-15 = January 2015

Cool. Fact remains it wasn't 1515 patients in Jan and 1510 in Feb and 1531 in March as the forum formatting made it look once Alex re-quoted.

Can we get hold of this ambulance and find out some real fact, based on these number?
