Seat belt use in cars with air bags.

A F Williams, J K Wells and A K Lund

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Arlington, VA 22201.

Seat belt use was observed in 1,628 cars with air bags and manual belts and 34,223 cars with manual seat belts only. Sixty-six percent of drivers in cars with air bags wore seat belts compared to 63 percent of drivers in cars with manual belts only. The study found no evidence for the speculation that drivers with air bags will reduce their seat belt use because they believe an air bag alone provides sufficient protection.
