Based on your responses to questions 2016/2967 and 2017/0043, TfL averaged a reported unintended acceleration incident resulting in a collision more than once per month for the period May 2010-May 2016, of which about half resulted in injury. Can you provide me monthly time series data showing the number of pedal confusion incidents recorded per month by TfL for the period 2000-2021?
