BBC NEWS | UK | Road death toll hits record low: "The number of people dying on UK roads fell to 3,221 last year - the lowest since records began in 1926.
The figures are 8% lower than 2003, when the number of highway deaths rose slightly compared to the year before.
It comes four years after the government set a target to cut the 1994-1998 road deaths average by 40%.
Road Safety Minister Stephen Ladyman said the figures were encouraging, but nearly nine people a day still died on roads last year, which was 'too high'."
