I am almost there. I looked at the statistics for the previous four years. Percentage-wise, drivers and passengers are more or less the same. It is dreadful to have statistics like this and to be even quoting them. The number of motorcyclists is up considerably, by 20% this year alone. The number of motorcycle fatalities for this year so far is 17 while it was 21 for the entire year last year. For six months of the year, we have more or less the same figure. What was the profile? Were they male or female, young or old, single collisions or multiple collisions? What was the situation? I notice a discernible increase in the number of motorcyclists on the roads at the moment. They are doing serious speed on the motorways and driving in twos and threes. That is something I observe. Could Ms Hilman give me the statistics in that regard please?
