Seat belt use of driver and passenger in car 2023
Abstract
Road safety performance indicators show the effectiveness of action taken to improve road safety. The indicators describe the behaviour of drivers, thus showing the everyday attitudes and behaviour of road users. In 2023, the CTI measured the trend of the indicators on the national road network using a new methodology. The measurements were conducted at predefined road locations (motorways: 17 locations, outlying areas: 33 locations, inland areas: 20 locations). We evaluated seat belt use by drivers and passengers of passenger vehicles
nationally, by region and by road type. The data showed that there is significant variation in road user behaviour between road types and regions.
