You're more likely to be killed or seriously injured on roads in Aberdeenshire than anywhere else in the UK.

The Banff and Buchan constituency has the highest rate of fatal accidents in the country per head of population - more than twice the national average.

West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine is in second place, while Gordon was also in the top ten.

The figures come from Direct Line and road safety charity PACTS.

They've found rural roads are generally more dangerous than those in built-up areas.
