Solutions are being
sought in order to prevent accidents involving deaths and injuries that are the
result of traffic accidents in the world. Among
these solutions, the seatbelt has been one of the simplest, least cost
effective and most efficient vehicles. The use of seatbelt plays an important role in reducing the
risk of death and injury as a result of a traffic accident. Although it is mandatory to use seatbelt
both in the world and in our country, its use rate is quite low in Turkey.
Turkey is among the countries
constituting almost half of the number of fatal accidents in the world. Traffic accidents should be considered
as a priority in the public health agenda in terms of frequency, health and
economic consequences of traffic accidents. The geographical structure, climatic conditions and existing
roads in Erzurum constitute negativities in terms of traffic safety. The habit of using the seatbelts of the
drivers is determined by observations in parallel with this consciousness.
Observations were made on state
highway numbered E80. In
the observations conducted during the week and weekend, morning and evening
observations, the habit of seatbelt use of drivers and front seat passengers
were determined. In
addition, vehicle types, gender and age variables were also observed. As a result, in accordance with the
information obtained, the use of seatbelt was evaluated according to age,
gender and vehicle types.
