Safety Belts

Résumé du livre

Recognizing that increased safety belt usage is by far the most cost-effective highway safety measure that can be undertaken by any State, this project describes how states can initiate action to collect major dividends in cost and human welfare. A manual was developed describing techniques that could be used by State legislators and State officials to bring about increased belt usage. The manual consists of 12 chapters, the first of which provides an overview of safety belt effectiveness. The next chapter describes a Statewide coordinated plan to increase belt usage. Each of the final ten chapters focuses on a major area where belt usage could be encouraged. The proposed techniques are linked to the State agencies having primary responsibility for the area.
