TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Belt use by high-risk drivers before and after New York's seat belt use law JO - Accident analysis and prevention A1 - Blomberg, Richard D. A1 - Williams, Allan F. A1 - Lund, Adrian K. A1 - Preusser, David F. SP - 245 EP - 250 VL - 20 IS - 4 N2 - 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 were 25%, 29%, and 28% for the high-, medium-, and low-speed groups as compared with 51%, 64%, and 57%, respectively, after the law. High-speed drivers also had inferior previous driving records, confirming their higher risk of motor vehicle crash involvement. LA - en SN - 0001-4575 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
