i have been asked to produce accident data that "shows a location where six or more collisions are recorded within a distance of 100m" between each collision.

Tried using the density tool with kernel density but cannot seem to refine the "red" areas to the required spread??

I would start by making a copy of your input feature layer and work with

the copy. The tool I propose in your first step, Integrate, changes the

geometry of your input file. So be careful.

So open Integrate, and set the distance at which you would like to

summarise your points i.e. your input distance will be 100 m. After running

this tool, all your accident incidents within 100 m of one another will

have the same geometery.

Next run a Spatial Join on your input layer, using the same layer for

both your Target Features and Join Features inputs. The join operation

should be one to one. The resulting output will contain a field called

Join_Count. This field will contain the number of points (accidents)

occurring at each point on the map.

Have you looked at: 

Hot Spot Analysis (Getis-Ord Gi*)—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop 

https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=6626d5cc81a745f1b737028f7a519521 

There are a number of you tube videos on hot spot mapping as well.

That should just about do it....
