Abstract

This paper uses regression models to investigate the efficacy of the seat belt regulation as well as the circuit training and testing system in reducing traffic related fatalities in Singapore. The effectiveness of alcohol breathalysers was also studied. Results suggest that the seat belt regulation does not have any impact on traffic fatalities. The use of breathalysers was found to be effective in reducing occupant fatalities. The circuit training and testing system, which aims to equip new pools of motorists with appropriate driving or riding skills, was found to be effective in reducing non-occupant fatalities and total fatalities.
