Statistics for car accidents that we could use in the end credits of the film:

- Young car drivers (aged 17-24) had more drink drive accidents per 100 thousand licence holders and per billion miles driven than any other age group
- In 2011 there were 280 deaths due to drink driving – accounting for 15% of all road fatalities.
- In 2012, there were 195,723 reported casualties on the roads of Great Britain, including 1,754 fatalities and 23,039 serious casualties.
- Around 400 people a year are killed in crashes in which someone exceeds the speed limit or drives too fast for the conditions.
- Around 280 people die a year in crashes in which someone was over the legal drink drive limit.
- More than 300 deaths a year involve someone being "careless, reckless or in a hurry", and a further 120 involve "aggressive driving".
- The vast majority of car drivers pass the breath test - in 2012 3.4% failed, representing 1.9% of all car drivers involved in accidents. Hence, the likelihood of a car accident involving a driver under the influence of alcohol is around one-in-fifty.
I also had a look on YouTube for any other car accident statistics, although this one may be for America, I think it will still help us for the context of out film:
Good research here. I'm not sure about whether you should use these in your film however -it wouldn't be a feature of a short film normally, and it may confuse your fiction aim with public information. Consider carefully what type of film you're making here before deciding whether it should be included.
