| Abstract | Safety belt usage is widely recognized as a cost-effective countermeasure for reducing injuries and deaths associated with traffic accidents; however, only a small percentage of drivers regularly use them. As a result, the Secretary of Transportation has mandated that starting in 1982 automobiles be equipped with either airbags or automatic belts. The next section of this report looks at public attitudes and perceptions with respect to these two countermeasures. |
