✦ Synopsis

In an earlier study, researchers at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center found drivers classified as seat belt nonusers on the basis of direct observation and self-reported belt use to be overrepresented in prior accidents and violations. This study represents a follow-up and extension of the earlier study where accident and violation rates over a 2.5-year interval following the classification by seat belt use status are compared. Seat belt nonusers were again found to be overrepresented in both accidents and violations. In other analyses of these data, changes in seat belt use status were found not to be associated with changes in accident or violation rates, and seat belt use rates reported by police in accidents following the mandatory seat belt law greatly exceeded both the observed and self-reported use rates. This was especially pronounced for drivers who responded that they rarely or never used seat belts.

Belt use among drivers traveling on limited access highways was observed before and after New York's mandatory seat belt use law. The results showed that high-speed drivers had lower belt use rates before the law and increased their belt use less in response to the law. Belt use rates before the law

In New York and other states in which seat belt use laws went into effect in the mid-198Os, belt use rates surged initially, then declined. This pattern of belt use also occurred in Canadian provinces that enacted laws in the mid-1970s; special enforcement programs reversed this trend. In late 1985

It is shown that Fishbein's 'theory of reasoned action' can be used to explain people's intentions to wear seat belts. As Bentler and Speckart (1 979) have proposed, a self-report measure of past behaviour is shown to significantly improve the model's power; this extended Fishbein model being capabl
