Traffic Accidents - again!!

Button Text

Now this is interesting (to me at any rate). I've mentioned cartograms in a previous blog, and I've produced this to show how England and its regions are distorted if size of regions is scaled to population per traffic accident. The numbers on the map show the estimated population per each recorded traffic accident in each region.
Sorry for the quality of the grid lines, but have tried to minimise the file size- they do help to emphasise the distortion.

At this level the pockets of rural mayhem are obscured, and the Boris Bus and the Chelsea Tractor rule supreme!
