    It’s obviously based on US or worldwide statistics but it illustrates a valid point – walking and cycling are dangerous but not doing regular exercise is more dangerous. Imagine if that headline wasn’t “2 cyclists killed by car in Hanham” but “50 people die of heart disease in Frenchay Hospital”

    When you start thinking about this, you have to ask why people in some countries don’t, and others do. And time and time again – even in this seething puddle of testosterone dangerous walking and cycling conditions come up as a factor.

    but KSI stats lump everything together so even the most minor or injuries is counted.

    killed or seriously injured so not minor cuts and bruises. IANAStatistician

    quick google plymouth council says
    Serious – injury including fracture, internal injury, concussion, severe shock, severe cuts, detention in hospital

    And you can see “slight” figures are a LOT higher than KSIs for their region.

    I’ve starter writing to my MP every time I see one of these crappy sentencing cases reported.
    I urge all of you that are offended and bothered about it to do the same, it dead easy and everyone is a step in the right direction to change.

    Well it can’t be a uk statistic as it includes death by legal execution

    of course it can.

    really depends on whether it is about how you die in the UK, or how UK residents die.

    It might not be the UK, just pointing out it could be.
