Abstract

This report describes the methods and analyses used in the study of the effects of compulsory seat belt wearing law in Victoria and presents results on wearing rates, driver attitudes, and the effect of seat belts in accidents. Considerable savings in casualties have accrued from 1971 to the present time. Current wearing rates are around 90%, and probably 14,000 casualties have been saved over four years, 1971–1974.
