Abstract:In late 1994, NHTSA conducted the first National Occupant Protection Use Survey
(NOPUS). Shoulder belt use was observed at a random sample of sites across the
country for drivers and right-front passengers of cars and light trucks. In one
portion of the study, called the controlled intersection study, license plate
numbers were recorded in addition to shoulder belt use. The license plate numbers
were matched to vehicle registration files for each state in the study. The
registration information provided specific information on the vehicle, including
make, model year, and vehicle identification number (VIN). This research note
presents belt use rates by specific vehicle characteristics.
