1 Fatality counts for each of the following indicators are lower-bound estimates – due to a substantial number of cases with unknown values
2 Victorian BAC & Drug data is incomplete
3 Totals for metropolitan, regional and remote categories do not add to the annual totals because some fatalities could not be coded to a regional category.
4 Based on estimates from the annual Motor Vehicle Census, Australian Bureau of Statistics.
5 Baseline figures are rounded to whole numbers. Calculations have been made prior to rounding for accurate recording.
