abstract="The objectives of this article were to identify the pattern of fatalities by age, belt use and time of day on road accidents of south-east Iran. A sample of over 3091 accident cases was considered from Kerman police forces, involving drivers of all ages, and covering a three-year period. Female drivers were found to be generally safer drivers than their male counterparts; male drivers not using a seat belt had a higher involvement rate in road traffic accidents, and also males with in the age group of 26-33 had more involvement in accidents. Time of day analyses suggested that the problem of accidents in darkness are not a matter of visibility, but a consequence of the way drivers use the roads at night. The article ends with a number of recommended measures for the improvement of road safety in south-east Iran.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
