Isle Of Wight Named In Top Ten Most Dangerous UK Locations For Drivers

The Isle of Wight has been named among the ten most dangerous areas of the UK for drivers.

A total of 100 people were killed or seriously injured across the Island's roads in 2021 — around 70 per 100,000 residents, which ranked as the ninth highest rate in Britain.

The research, conducted by Forbes Advisor, compared the total number of road casualties in each local authority last year in conjunction with each area’s population to reveal the rate of deaths or serious injuries per 100,000 people.

The results show Powys in Wales as having the most dangerous roads in Britain, with 101 deaths or serious injuries per 100,000 people in 2021.

The full results of the research are as follows:
