Chief Minister says more than 30 normally happen over a two-month period
Fewer than five serious road traffic collisions happened on Manx roads while the reduced all-Island speed limit was in place.
Chief Minister Howard Quayle told the House of Keys around 30 serious crashes would be expected in a normal two-month period.
A 40mph and 60mph limit was brought in as part of the coronavirus measures in a bid to limit demand on the emergency services.
Mr Quayle said having fewer cars on the road meant action was needed:
Public expectations for high street services 'a contradiction'
Info Commissioner partially upholds terminal complaint
MGP organisers ACU respond to accusations of 'hollow promises' following rider's death
Government's handling of immigration policy 'clumsy, naive and inept'
