Occupant Restraint Use in 2009 – Results from the NOPUS Controlled Intersection Study, This NCSA report presents results from the 2009 NOPUS Controlled Intersection Study, which found that seat-belt use continued to be lower among 16- to 24-year-olds than other age groups.
An Analysis of the Significant Decline in Motor Vehicle Traffic Fatalities in 2008, In 2008 there were 37,261 people killed in motor vehicle crashes, the lowest number since 1961. With a further large drop in fatalities projected for 2009, this would mean motor vehicle traffic crash fatalities will have reached a level not seen since the early 1950s. The purpose of this report is to examine the current decline in fatalities, not just in relation to recent trends, but also in relation to any long-term changes that may be occurring.
Lives Saved in 2009 by Restraint Use and Minimum-Drinking-Age Laws, In 2009, the use of seat belts in passenger vehicles saved an estimated 12,713 lives. Seat belts have saved over 72,000 lives during the 5-year period from 2005 through 2009.
