SAFETY BELTS TO ENSURE SAFETY

AUTOGORDELS VAST EN ZEKER

A brochure is presented which is designed to stimulate the use of safety belts. After an introduction questions on the need for safety belts, the best type of belt and the correct wearing of the belt are answered. The effectiveness of the different types of restraint systems, three-point belts, diagonal belts, lap belts and head rests is discussed. The use of safety belts in rural and urban areas is mentioned, as is the problem of cars in which safety belts have to be used. A distinction is made between adults, children of different ages, disabled persons and pregnant women. Finally some objections to the use of safety belts are discussed. /TRRL/
