摘要: |
Automatic occupant protection, state belt laws, and greater voluntary belt use amount to a 'winning combination' that saves lives. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208, as amended on July 17, 1984, combined a nationwide effort to increase belt use through state belt laws, enforcement and education, and a requirement that automatic occupant protection, such as air bags or automatic belts, be phased into passenger cars and light trucks. The effectiveness of automatic occupant protection is measured by statistical analysis of fatal crashes involving model year 1985-93 passenger cars, based on FARS data from 1986 through mid- 1993. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
