Towing in Stonnington
This is the third entry in our Car Accidents Statistics series. Last month, we wrote about Monash’s towing statistics. The month before, we looked at the five-year history of towing in Boroondara. This month, we are looking at Stonnington.
We take our statistics from VicRoads. VicRoads report all accidents in which someone has been injured. This doesn’t include a number of our emergency towing services, such as when a car has broken down, become bogged, or simply won’t start. The statistics help policy makers identify the most dangerous roads and can help remind drivers to drive carefully.
