A total of 14,626 people have lost their lives on NI roads since records began in 1931 and 75,070 have suffered serious injuries since these were first recorded in 1971.
In 1931, there were 114 road deaths. This number increased over the years and peaked in 1972 with 372 deaths....( this stat was a higher total than killed in the troubles that year!!!)
In 2012, road fatalities were the lowest on record.....around 44 I believe........back up to 56 this year
Italics my additions....scary reading back in the 70s though
