Abstract

The effectiveness of seat belts is well documented. In general, the results of the survey showed that most drivers had very positive attitudes towards wearing seat belts. However, many drivers still believe that if they drive carefully they do not need to wear a seat belt and also many over-estimate the risk of being trapped by the belt in emergency situations. While a number of countries have high rates of seat belt wearing, the rate is still low in others, especially in urban areas. In addition, the main findings showed that the usage rate of appropriate child restraints ranged from 49% to 97%.
