NEW YORK'S BELT USE REGULATION FOR LEARNER'S PERMIT HOLDERS

In 1983 New York State established an administrative requirement that learners permit holders use seat belts. Subsequently, observations were made of belt use of permit holders and of other drivers traveling at the same sites and times at three different locations in New York. Permit holder use rates exceeded those of other drivers at two locations (39 vs. 7%; 32 vs. 12%), but not at the third (6 vs. 6%).
