%X The countries surveyed in this report contain over 80 percent of the world's car population. Most of them experienced a substantial decrease in road accident fatalities after the 1973 oil crisis. The decrease was greater in those countries that did not pass seat belt laws than in those that did.  <p>This paper proffers the hypothesis that protecting car occupants from the consequences of bad driving encourages bad driving.</p>  <p>Also published as SAE Technical Report # 820819 (1982)</p>
