+# UK Driver Deaths
+
+This dataset concerns the number of drivers killed or seriously injured in the
+UK around the period where seatbelts are introduced. Seatbelts were compulsory
+equipment in all new cars in 1972 and were mandatory to be worn from 1983
+onwards.
+
+Data exported from R, where the it is a builtin dataset called
+``UKDriverDeaths`` in the ``datasets`` package. Since the ``datasets`` package
+is part of R it is licensed under version 2 of the [GNU Public
+License](https://www.r-project.org/COPYING). The data file produced from this
+data (``seatbelts.json``) is therefore licensed under GPLv2 as well.
