NOTEs: The Police Traffic Crash Report form was modified in 2001. The ‘too fast for conditions’ data since this change are not strictly comparable to earlier data.

Most crashes have a number of contributing causal factors and many have both alcohol and ‘too fast for conditions’. For this reason these tables cannot be added together to give the total number of crashes with alcohol/drugs and/or ‘too fast for conditions’ listed as contributing factors.
