According to the accident statistics; 92,610 vehicles were involved in the 54,911 road accidents reported in 2002. Of this 2,967 vehicles were involved in 2,024 fatal accidents. The main objective of this paper is to find out the most risky vehicle type that was involved in road accidents in terms of the number of vehicles, faulty rate and fatality rate etc.	en_US
