Ms Paula Hilman:

When broken down, we see that 49%, or 41 people, of the 83 fatalities were drivers. Before I start to go through this, I want to echo what has already been said, namely, that every one of these figures is an empty seat at a table and somebody's loved one. It is important to say that at the outset. Forty-one drivers, 17 motorcyclists, 12 pedestrians, ten passengers, two pedal cyclists and one e-scooter user have been killed on our roads this year. I do not have the number, but 88% of fatalities are male.
