Table 6.1 shows casualties on London’s roads for 2013 and 2014 compared against
the 2005-2009 baseline. Changes in collisions and casualties during 2014 should be

fluctuations are not always indicative of long-term trends. It should also be noted
that large percentage changes in small numbers might not be statistically significant.
