Study of methods for increasing safety belt use : comments on the study by the U.S. Department of Transportation DOT, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA.

Past attempts to induce people to use their safety belts have not been particularly successful. This may be because these efforts generally have been too narrowly defined and have not been carried out as part of a consistent, comprehensive campaign. It is strongly believed that increasing the use of manual safety belts or of the manual components of automatic occupant protection systems will require broad commitment on several fronts.
