According to the Freep website, in the past year, although the number of deaths caused by traffic accidents in the United States has continued to rise, the federal government’s safety regulators indicated that more drivers are paying attention to seat belts than ever before. usage of.
Despite a record number of car airbag recalls in 2016, the US Highway Safety Authority (NHTSA) stated in a report on Monday that nearly 90% of drivers and passengers on the passenger seat will Actively wear a seat belt. This result comes from a survey initiated by the department in June. Statistics show that this figure has risen significantly this year compared with 89% of the survey results in 2015.
Mark Rosekind, director of the NHTSA, believes that media reports tend to focus on new safety technologies, such as emergency car braking systems, lane keeping aids and adaptive cruises. Control etc. But in terms of safety, no safety device can surpass the role played by the seat belt.
Mark Roskind said in a statement: "Although we have been encouraged by this progress, there are still many people who have died in traffic accidents. The reason for this is that many of them are caused by tragedy without seat belts. Before 100% of drivers and passengers wear seatbelts, we will never slacken it."
According to the survey statistics provided by NHTSA, in 2015, seat belts for cars saved nearly 14,000 lives. Since the beginning of 1975, about 345,000 people have saved their lives by wearing seat belts.
At present, the use of seat belts still has room for improvement. According to statistics, about half of the people who suffered a traffic accident during 2015 eventually died - exactly 48% - and these people have a common point of not wearing a seat belt. When the seat belt is properly used, the lap/shoulder type seat belt can effectively reduce the risk of fatal injury to the front passenger. The risk of death can be reduced by about 45%, and the risk of moderate to severe injuries can be reduced by about 50%.
According to the NHTSA's forecast data released last month, the use of seat belts by drivers and passengers in 2016 was encouraging. However, compared with the same period in 2015, the number of deaths in traffic accidents in the first six months of this year rose to 1.7775 million, and the death rate rose by 10%.
Although traffic mileage is directly proportional to fatal accidents, sending and receiving text messages during driving also increases security risks.
NHTSA’s latest survey results show that compared with other regions of the world, people in Western countries use seat belts better than those in other regions. In addition, in the United States, the use of seat belts in the states that include the use of seat belts in the legal supervision system is also generally higher. One of the typical examples is Michigan. At present, 34 states in the United States have incorporated safety belts into the legal supervision system. In addition, laws related to the use of seat belts have also been established in the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. At present, for the correct use of seat belts, there are two mandatory regulations for old drivers in 15 US states and primary mandatory regulations for minors under 18 years of age.
