Victorian Road Deaths:.
In 1970, the road death rate was 30 deaths per 100,000 population.
In 2010, the road death rate was 5.4 deaths per 100,000 population.
This shows a very big drop between these two years, which are both at the extreme ends of the range. In 1970 the road toll hit the highest ever point of 1,061 deaths, following a steady rise from about 500 in 1953. This reduced back down to about 400 in 1992 and hovered around that figure for the next 10 years until 2002. It then dropped to about 350 over the next few years, with further drops appearing in 2008 to 2010, to the 288 road deaths recorded in 2010.
