Abstract

Safety belt effectiveness in preventing fatalities to drivers is examined versus 13 vehicle, accident or environmental factors. For each factor safety belt effectiveness is estimated, as is an associated standard error or the estimate. The graphically presented results provide no evidence that safety belt effectiveness is systematically influenced by most of the factors investigated, including car mass model year.
