NIGHT-TIME DRIVING: THE USE OF SEAT-BELTS AND ALCOHOL. SPECIAL ISSUE: RISKY DECISION-MAKING IN TRANSPORT OPERATIONS

This study confirmed reported findings that young drivers and drinking drivers were less likely to wear seat-belts at night. Results of night-time survey of 1,246 drivers in the Netherlands show the lowest rate belt use, 21% for young drivers with blood alcohol levels in excess of the legal limit (.50%). Those drivers who were most likely to become involved in a crash were least likely to protect themselves from injury.
