Abstract
The seatbelt and mobile phone surveys are carried out each year to observe the use made of seatbelts by vehicle occupants and of mobile phones by drivers around the country. The core seatbelt survey is based on sites around Crowthorne and Nottingham, and additional surveys were carried out in Scotland and Gloucester in 2009. Observations are made of restraint use by drivers and passengers of vehicles at light controlled junctions. The mobile phone surveys are based on free flowing traffic across all road types. Thirty sites were visited for the core survey in the South East of England in 2009; an additional survey in the Bristol area was also carried out. (Author/publisher)
