Samenvatting
In 1972, in one French administrative area an experiment was run, designed to measure the influence, on the mass of road users, of the ostentations and systematic use of safety belts by a selected group of motorists. A sample of 4153 drivers were approached and asked to participate. For each driver accepting a certain number of details were noted: age, sex, profession. A before and after analysis was made to measure the influence of the experiment. Results show a significant increase in safety belt wearing.
