Work drivers and traffic injuries

At least one in four road deaths in Britain (26%) involves someone driving for work, according to Department for Transport (DfT) statistics uncovered by road safety charity Brake. In 2006, 858 people were killed and 6,622 were seriously injured in crashes involving at-work drivers. The actual figure could be much higher, with indications that at-work casualties are being under-reported by police, said the charity.
