Statistically speaking…

Automotive Statistics…

Frequently it is said that statistics can be made to say ‘anything’, but often the numbers in themselves tell a story, and are interesting to contemplate.
If you are interested in automotive statistics, it is worth popping over to: https://www.oponeo.co.uk/car-statistics
Here you can study a solid compilation of some of the most interesting automotive statistics from such reliable sources as statista and .gov websites.
These includes car ownership data, road safety stats and information about car costs, sales, and manufacturing. You can find out how many cars are on the world’s roads, what causes the majority of accidents, how drivers get distracted etc.
Definitely worth a look… and you might be surprised by the sheer scale of some of these numbers…

Our well-respected contributors live and breathe motor cars; aren’t we lucky?

Contributors to the site include talented, highly-respected people (so they tell me) on the hallowed membership list of the Guild of Motoring Writers, and from the similarly well thought-of Western Group of Motoring Writers. In addition there are valued contributions from other knowledgeable and capable motoring writers who have something useful to say about all aspects of driving and running vehicles in the 21st Century. All of our team are passionate about motor cars!
