Drivers who have air bags are more likely to wear their seat belts too.

Every two years, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conducts a national telephone survey to monitor the public's attitudes about seat belts, child safety seats, air bags, and other occupant protection topics. The 2000 survey consisted of two questionnaires, each given to a randomly selected sample of about 6,000 persons age 16 and older for a total of about 12,000. Interviewing ran from November 8, 2000 through January 21, 2001. This Traffic Tech summarizes the survey findings related to air bags. (Author/publisher)
