Seat belt manual launched by UN road safety group
02/13/2009
Wearing a seat-belt can reduce the risk of death in a road crash by up to 50% and is one of the most effective measures for preventing injury for vehicle occupants. Yet in many countries seat belt use is still not required or enforced.
Now a new practical guide for policymakers has been published by the FIA Foundation, the Global Road Safety Partnership, the World Bank and the World Health Organization providing advice to public authorities on introducing laws and improving seat belt compliance.
