How dangerous are your (UK) streets?

So who committed the other two?

1 death in my village, involved two cars and one 'other motor vehicle' whatever that is in 2003. 2 roads into the village, two bike riders died in a collision with a good vehicle on one, and a passenger died in a car when the driver lost control on a bend and put it into a field on the other. Both in 2007. I only heard of the last of these, probably cos it was the only one that got in my way.

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Two deaths, but just over a mile away since 1999 - one in '04, and one '09. I remember both of them: a drunk in an HGV killed a kid on a moped, and a seventeen year old killed his girlfriend on his way back from the pub. Where I used to live in Hampshire had over two dozen in about the same radius.
