Seventeen motorcyclists have been killed in Norwegian traffic so far this year; one less than in the first seven months of 2009. A total of 88 car drivers and car passengers were killed compared to 74 in 2009. A total of three cyclists and 11 pedestrians have lost their lives so far in 2010, compared to five and 15 respectively last year. For the remaining groups of road-users there are only minor changes in the figures compared with last year

Police figures

The statistics are based on accidents reported to the police. Less severe accidents and injuries are often not reported to the police, and may therefore be underrepresented in the figures. The total number of injuries includes casualties where the degree of injury has not been specified. Around 27 per cent of the casualties reported so far this year belonged to this category. Some people registered in this category may be uninjured, and figures are subject to change.
