Abstract:The 1980 survey again found a wide discrepancy between public attitudes and perceptions about safety belts and the public's usage of safety belts. While it is widely believed that safety belts may help to prevent serious injury in an automobile accident, usage of safety belts remains low. There is evidence even that the discrepancy between perceptions about safety belts and actual usage may be widening further. Beginning with the 1982 model year, airbags or automatic belts will be mandatory equipment on some new automobiles. This section of the report examines safety belts usage and public attitudes and perceptions regarding safety belts and the anticipated airbag or automatic belt requirement.
