<strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seat</strong> <strong>Belt</strong> Wearing 2007<br />
Executive Summary<br />
A nationwide observational survey <strong>of</strong> seatbelt wearing on Irish roads was<br />
conducted in the summer <strong>of</strong> 2007 by the <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>Authority</strong>. Data was<br />
recorded from drivers, both male and female, for front and rear passengers<br />
excluding children. Separate surveys for primary school and secondary school<br />
children in the front or rear seat were also conducted.<br />
<strong>Seat</strong> belt wearing<br />
increased by 2% in 2007<br />
The survey was designed to be broadly comparable with previous surveys since<br />
1991 in order to produce trend analysis. A total <strong>of</strong> 15,616 adults occupying front<br />
seat and 866 adults occupying rear seat were observed in 2007.<br />
Females continue to have<br />
better wearing rates than<br />
males<br />
During the last decade, drivers on Irish roads increasingly wore a seat belt. In<br />
2007, 88% <strong>of</strong> drivers observed were wearing a seatbelt. This represents an<br />
improvement <strong>of</strong> 2% over the summer 2006 survey. Previous surveys revealed<br />
wearing rates <strong>of</strong> 86% in 2005, 85 % in 2003 survey, 71% in 2002 survey, 55% in<br />
the 1999 and 52% in 1991.<br />
A significant increase in<br />
rear seat wearing, now at<br />
84%<br />
Compared to 2006 estimates, the overall front seat rate for females has<br />
increased by one percentage point to 93 %, while the rate for males increased<br />
by three percentage point to 85 % in 2007.<br />
In rear seats, the wearing rate for adults has increased from 63 % in 2006 to 84<br />
% in 2007. Women are more likely than men to wear seat belts in rear seats,<br />
with wearing rates <strong>of</strong> 87% and 80 % respectively.<br />
Significant improvement<br />
by primary school pupils<br />
The 2007 school seat belt survey showed a consistent increase in seat-belt<br />
wearing rates for primary schools. The estimated seat belt wearing rate for<br />
primary school goers in rear seats increased from 64 % in 2006 to 70 % in 2007.<br />
In the case <strong>of</strong> front seat belts this rate increased from 67% to 80%<br />
The only section that<br />
showed a decrease in<br />
wearing rates were<br />
secondary school pupils<br />
However the rate <strong>of</strong> seat belt wearing for secondary school pupils reduced from<br />
2006 levels. The rate <strong>of</strong> wearing <strong>of</strong> front seat fell from 88% to 78% and from 77%<br />
to 63% for those seated in the rear.<br />

<strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seat</strong> <strong>Belt</strong> Wearing 2007<br />
1. Introduction<br />
By far the greatest contributor to injury reduction in the past decades is the<br />
occupants in vehicles use <strong>of</strong> seat belts, (Shinar 2007) 1 . The World Health<br />
Organisation reported that fatalities and injuries can be reduced by between<br />
40-50 %, (WHO 2004) 2 .<br />
Under the Government <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> Strategy 2007-<br />
2012, a target <strong>of</strong> 95 % for front seat belt wearing<br />
has been set for Ireland by 2012 3 . The achievement<br />
<strong>of</strong> this target would set Ireland among the states<br />
with the safest road safety records in the world<br />
Given the proven effectiveness <strong>of</strong> seat belts, it is a<br />
matter <strong>of</strong> national interest in every country to<br />
measure seat belt use to track changes in use rates<br />
as a function <strong>of</strong> various efforts to increase usage.<br />
Under the Government <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> Strategy, 2007 –<br />
2012 the <strong>Road</strong>s <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> is tasked with<br />
carrying out national surveys in relation to seat belt<br />
wearing and traffic speeds. <strong>Survey</strong> results are used<br />
to monitor trends, determine the effectiveness <strong>of</strong><br />
safety initiatives and to inform the on-going review<br />
<strong>of</strong> public policy in relation to road safety.<br />
Despite the fact that seatbelts are an effective way<br />
<strong>of</strong> reducing the number <strong>of</strong> road deaths and severely<br />
injured, not everybody wears one.<br />
The National <strong>Road</strong>s <strong>Authority</strong> in 2002, 2003 and<br />
2005, and the <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>Authority</strong> in 2006 carried<br />
out nationwide surveys <strong>of</strong> free speeds (Urban and<br />
Rural) and seat-belt wearing rates.<br />
Methods<br />
Over 100 sites were selected with an average <strong>of</strong> 100<br />
cars and light goods vehicles being surveyed at each<br />
location, giving a total sample size <strong>of</strong> over 10,000 -<br />
which is sufficient to give a range <strong>of</strong> accuracy <strong>of</strong><br />
approximately plus or minus one percent on the<br />
overall driver and front seat wearing rate figure.<br />
For the purposes <strong>of</strong> the survey the network <strong>of</strong> public<br />
roads was broken down into eleven separate road<br />
classes (listed in Appendix 1). As with previous<br />
surveys, members <strong>of</strong> An Garda Síochána, driving<br />
instructors, taxi drivers and children were excluded<br />
from the front and rear adult seat belt surveys.<br />
<strong>Survey</strong>ors were instructed to continue the survey<br />
until the target sample coverage was exceeded or<br />
for a maximum <strong>of</strong> three hours if the quota was not<br />
reached. Front and rear adult seat belt wearing rate<br />
surveys were carried out in June, July and August<br />
2007.<br />
The survey results may be biased as the survey was<br />
carried out during the daylight hours in the summer<br />
months; seat belt wearing rates may differ<br />
according to time <strong>of</strong> the day, day <strong>of</strong> the week and<br />
month. This is especially true because there would<br />
be a higher level <strong>of</strong> tourist activity on the roads<br />
during the summer months and tourists may be<br />
more or less likely than residents to wear seat belts.<br />
<strong>Seat</strong> belt wearing rates at the time <strong>of</strong> day that the<br />
surveys were carried out (mostly mid-morning or<br />
mid-afternoon) may also not be fully representative<br />
<strong>of</strong> average daily wearing rates.<br />
In addition to the front and rear adult seat belt<br />
surveys, the 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2003 studies<br />
included a separate seat belt survey <strong>of</strong> students<br />
attending primary and secondary schools.<br />
The front and rear adult seat belt survey locations<br />
are shown in Appendix 3.<br />

<strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seat</strong> <strong>Belt</strong> Wearing 2007<br />
2. Overview <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seat</strong> belt wearing survey, 2007<br />
Overall <strong>Seat</strong>belt Use: In 2007, the overall front seat belt wearing in the<br />
Republic <strong>of</strong> Ireland was 88 %. This represents an increase <strong>of</strong> 2% over 2006,<br />
and a 35 % increase since 1999.<br />

<strong>Seat</strong>belt Use by Gender<br />
Women are more likely than men to wear seat belts<br />
in front seats, with wearing rates <strong>of</strong> 93 % and 85 %<br />
respectively. Females had higher seat belt use than<br />
males whether driving as a front passenger or rear<br />
passenger and on all types <strong>of</strong> roads.<br />
<strong>Seat</strong>belt Use by <strong>Road</strong> Type<br />
While seat belt usage increases on all road types<br />
since 1991, the greatest increases are on urban<br />
roads in Cork, small urban areas, county roads and<br />
urban national secondary roads. <strong>Seat</strong> belt wearing<br />
on urban roads in Dunlaoghaire, Limerick and rural<br />
national primary roads, while improving, did so at a<br />
lesser rate than the other road types.<br />

<strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seat</strong> <strong>Belt</strong> Wearing 2007<br />
3. Front seat belt wearing rate results<br />
A total <strong>of</strong> 15,616 adults occupying front seats were observed in 2007. 12,319<br />
(79%) <strong>of</strong> the adults occupying front seat observed were driving, 3,297 (21%)<br />
were front seat passengers.<br />
The survey results in the table below which shows<br />
driver seat belt wearing rates by gender and road<br />
type, indicate that wearing rates are highest in<br />
Small Urban Areas, County roads, Cork (urban),<br />
Dublin (urban) and Urban National Primary roads<br />
and lowest on Limerick (urban) and National<br />
Secondary roads.<br />
Driver wearing rates (%) by gender and road<br />
class<br />
Male drivers are generally less likely to wear seat<br />
belts: in 2007, 86 % <strong>of</strong> male drivers and 93 % <strong>of</strong><br />
female drivers were observed to have been wearing<br />
seat belts. This shows a marginal increase in seat<br />
belt rates from the 2006 figures <strong>of</strong> 82 % and 92 %,<br />
respectively.<br />

<strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seat</strong> <strong>Belt</strong> Wearing 2007<br />
In 2007, 83 % <strong>of</strong> male and 94 % <strong>of</strong> female front seat<br />
passengers were observed to have been using seat<br />
belts. Combining the driver and front passenger<br />
wearing rates into an ‘overall front seat’ wearing<br />
rate, this rate has improved by two percentage<br />
points over the estimated figure in 2006 (88%). The<br />
overall front seat rate for females increased by one<br />
percentage point to 93 % in 2007, while the rate for<br />
males increased by three percentage points to 85 %<br />
in 2007.<br />
The table below shows the association between the<br />
driver and front passenger seat belt usage. The<br />
results suggest that both male and female drivers<br />
are more likely to be wearing a seat belt if the front<br />
seat passenger is belted up. Wearing rates are<br />
lowest for male drivers, especially for those beside<br />
unbelted male passengers (36%).<br />

<strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seat</strong> <strong>Belt</strong> Wearing 2007<br />
4. Rear seat belt wearing rates results<br />
On the rear seats, the wearing rate for adults has increased from 63 % in<br />
2006 to 84 % in 2007. Women are more likely than men to wear seat belts in<br />
rear seats, with wearing rates <strong>of</strong> 87% and 80 % respectively.<br />
The table below shows the results <strong>of</strong> the adult rear<br />
seat belt surveys conducted in 2007. Sample sizes<br />
for each location were relatively small owing in part<br />
to the low proportion <strong>of</strong> cars with an adult in the<br />
rear seat and also reflecting the difficulty surveying<br />
rear seats.<br />
The total number <strong>of</strong> vehicles containing rear<br />
passengers observed was only 866. When spread<br />
across the 100 locations the numbers observed were<br />
very few. In Cork the number was only 33, in<br />
Dunlaoghaire 10 and in Limerick only 13.<br />

5. Student seat belt wearing survey results<br />
<strong>Seat</strong> belt wearing rates were surveyed at a total <strong>of</strong> 28 schools, <strong>of</strong> which 15<br />
were secondary schools. <strong>Survey</strong>ors were asked to select sites in excess <strong>of</strong> 100<br />
metres away from each <strong>of</strong> the schools, which were the same as those chosen<br />
for the previous (2003, 2005 and 2006) surveys and were originally chosen at<br />
random from a list provided by the Department <strong>of</strong> Education.<br />

<strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seat</strong> <strong>Belt</strong> Wearing 2007<br />
Primary schools<br />
A total <strong>of</strong> 415 primary school goers were surveyed in the front seat <strong>of</strong> cars. The table below shows that front<br />
seat-belt wearing rates were significantly higher for females (80%) than for males (79%). An average <strong>of</strong> 80%<br />
<strong>of</strong> primary school goers in the front passenger seat wore a belt in 2007, an increase <strong>of</strong> four percentage<br />
points over the 2006 figure.<br />

Out <strong>of</strong> a total <strong>of</strong> 599 primary school children in rear seats, 416 (or 70%) were wearing a seat belt. While this<br />
wearing rate is lower than that for those in the front passenger seat, it represents an improvement <strong>of</strong> six<br />
percentage points over the respective figure for 2006. Wearing rates for this cohort <strong>of</strong> males (63%) were<br />
significantly lower than for females (75%).<br />

<strong>Survey</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Seat</strong> <strong>Belt</strong> Wearing 2007<br />
Appendix 1: Adult <strong>Seat</strong> <strong>Belt</strong> <strong>Survey</strong><br />
The survey was be carried out during working hours,<br />
Monday- Friday (9.30-17.30) and on 11 separate<br />
road classes:<br />
Urban national primary roads;<br />
Urban national secondary roads;<br />
Rural national primary roads;<br />
Rural national secondary roads;<br />
Cork (Urban);<br />
Dublin (Urban);<br />

As there were no comprehensive recent estimates<br />
for the distribution <strong>of</strong> total traffic on the network by<br />
these various road classes, it was assumed that the<br />
patterns <strong>of</strong> traffic had remained constant over the<br />
period and as a consequence the target sample sizes<br />
used in this survey were identical to that <strong>of</strong> the<br />
1999, 2002, 2003 and 2005 surveys.<br />
Members <strong>of</strong> An Garda Síochána, driving instructors,<br />
taxi drivers and children were excluded from the<br />
adult front and rear seat belt survey [separate<br />
primary and secondary school surveys were<br />
undertaken]. <strong>Survey</strong>ors were instructed to continue<br />
the survey until the target sample was exceeded or<br />
for a maximum <strong>of</strong> three hours if the quota was not<br />
