Abstract

The psychological attitude towards the seat belt of 70 injured motor car passengers could be examined. The belt fastening rate was changed after the experience of having had an accident. Almost 80% of the questioned persons now always fasten their seat belt, whereas this is done only by 43% of the total collective. Although the usefulness of seat belts is not doubted by the majority of the questioned persons, almost 80% of them are afraid of difficulties concerning the loosening of seat belts.
