Abstract:

This study continued to monitor the use of occupant restraint systems and motorcycle/moped helmet usage in 19 U.S. cities during 1987. A total of 272,857 observations of automobile drivers indicated an overall driver safety belt usage rate of 42.3 percent. The driver safety belt usage rate in areas that have mandatory use laws was 49.8 percent compared to a 29.8 percent usage in areas with no use laws. Observations of 97,448 passengers indicated that 36.3 percent of the subteens, 25.1 percent of the teens and 41.7 percent of the adults were restrained. Child safety seats were observed being used for 77.6 percent of the infant and SO.4 percent of the toddler passengers. Correct infant seat usage was 66.4 percent while 66.5 percent of toddlers, observed in toddler seats, were properly harnessed and/or shielded. In areas with motorcycle helmet use laws 92.0 percent of the drivers and 80.5 percent of the passengers used helmets. Helmet use in areas with no helmet use laws was 42.2 for drivers and 29.0 for passengers. Automobiles equipped with automatic belt systems had an overall driver belt use rate of 91.6 percent. The motorized shoulder belt system that could not be disconnected displayed the highest use rate of 99.1 percent. The lowest automatic system use rate of 77.1 percent was observed from the combination lap and shoulder belt combination with disconnect.
