SAFETY SYSTEMS ON REAR SEATS OF CARS
BEVEILIGINGSMIDDELEN OP ACHTERBANKEN VAN PERSONENAUTO'S
There is little known on the use of safety systems on the rear seats of cars. The presented data in this report must be seen as an indication. The percentage of safety systems present on rear seats was between 5 and 11 during the last years. If the use of safety systems on rear seats were to be legally introduced, the maximum effect would be reached after 10 years. From the mathematical model it is estimated that there would be 30-55 traffic fatalities less per year. Ninety percent of this decrease would be in accidents outside built-up areas. (TRRL)
