Rear Seat Belt Law Evaluation
| 项目名称： | Rear Seat Belt Law Evaluation |
| 摘要： | The 2014 National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS) found observed seat belt use to be 14 percent lower in the backseat than in the front. The rear seat occupant protection problem is also underlined by the fact that in 2014 the percentage of people dying unrestrained in the backseat was 11 percent higher than for people dying in in the front. Part of the explanation appears to be attributable to differences in State laws. In 2016 there are 22 States without laws requiring all occupants to buckle up, and NOPUS found observed rear seat belt use in States without a rear seat law was 14 percent lower than in States requiring belt use in all seating positions. The primary objective of this project is to evaluate the effect of an all positions seat belt law. This evaluation will include seat belt observations in nine States comprised of three triads each with a State with no rear seat belt law, a secondary law, and a primary law. Conducting the current research could provide evidence for legislators to support the passing of more rear seat belt laws. |
