Samenvatting
The accessibility of seat belts was determined in a total sample of 200 taxicabs waiting to pick up passengers at eight city airports. A rear seat belt was "accessible" (able to be fastened within 10 seconds) in 111 (55.5%) taxicabs. The proportion varied by city from 16.0% (New York City) to 96.0% (Minneapolis) and was higher for taxicabs in cities covered by mandatory state seat belt legislation.
