U.S Motorists Lie About Seat Belts

A National Safety Council study finds many motorists misreport wearing seat belts. The report notes prior studies relied on self reports and observed behavior in real world driving, revealing gaps between claimed use and actual usage.

Belt use study notes gaps in wearing seat belts

The Insurance Institute reports many claim to use seat belts yet do not buckle on the road. Observers studied over 1,000 cars across towns and cities, recorded belt use and license numbers, then interviewed drivers by phone to probe reasons for wearing or not wearing belts. Factors linked to belt use include convenience education and exposure to a friend or relative injured in a crash.
