Poor, suffering English language: "Comprehensive reviews incorporating meta-analysis by Elvik (1996) and Koornstra et al. (1979) have systematised these results." In the old days it would have been: "Results have been tabulated by..." Who's this Koomstra? - I've come across that name before.. Particularly liked the bit where it said a Canadian study found using daytime running lights (DRL) reduced head-on collisions by 5% - they didn't give the figures for side or rear collisions... Datum point - got pulled up by the coppers in Finland in 1980 because I didn't have the headlights on and was outside a town/city.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. [1] - work: as in "it didn't result in a significant reduction in multi-vehicle accidents involving motorcycles".
