The IAM has just reported on 2 years of figures on careless driving, and seem to focus on which areas have the highest numbers... this has then been picked up in the media as being the area of most careless drivers - but of course we don't know the real detail - how much different forces focus on these bookings / where the driver lives (maybe all those from cornwall are driving to west yorkshire to wreck their figures )
more interesting though is the types of offences... Merseyside police gave more of a breakdown...
Original results (boring) here:

maybe someone with more specialist knowledge can explain the difference between:
- Drive a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road / in a public place without due care and attention
- Drive a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road / in a public place without reasonable consideration to other users
unless it is simply that one affects others, the other doesn't...
what interests me is that the IAM do these requests (which must cost some money / take some time) yet there doesn't then seem to be much joined up thinking about promoting their education solution - other than just stating that they provide courses...
