Analysis of the accident risk for right-hand drive vehicles in Québec : Analyse du risque d'accident des véhicules ayant le volant à droite au Québec

25 Jan 2010

One of the analyses showed that, despite a major change in the composition of the “Comparable – Left-Hand Drive” category, the increased risk for the “Sports – Right-Hand Drive” category remained essentially the same. [...] An analysis of the data on the number of vehicles allowed to be operated on Québec roads showed that more than half of the right-hand drive vehicles from the Japanese domestic market whose operation was allowed at June 30 no longer had the same status at December 31 of the same year, as a result of requests for storage submitted to the Société. [...] For 2009, the year of the moratorium on the registration of right-hand drive vehicles, the incomplete data show that the accident rate per 10,000 vehicles was higher for the “Sports – Right-Hand Drive” category. [...] In addition, we assessed the impact of further restricting the number of vehicles in the “Comparable – Left-Hand Drive” category, redoing all our calculations after changing the composition of the category. [...] In point of fact, in order to eliminate the effect of the regional distribution of owners, the frequency of accidents for the “Comparable – Left-Hand Drive” category would have to be reduced by 1.7%.
