Abstract

In 2009, the use of seat belts in passenger vehicles saved an estimated 12,713 lives. Seat belts have saved over 72,000 lives during the 5-year period from 2005 through 2009. These annual lives saved counts have been produced by NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis since 1975. The counts are estimates that are calculated using the effectiveness of each device or law that is mentioned. (Author/publisher)
