TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Truck seat belts JO - Proceedings: International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles A1 - Haworth, N.l. A1 - Bowland, L. A1 - Foddy, B. A1 - Elliott, B. SP - 1926 EP - 1936 VL - 1996 IS - N2 - This paper addresses why seat belt wearing rates remain low among truck drivers, despite revisions to Australian Design Rules aimed at making truck seat belts more comfortable. These changes allow for anchorage of the seat belt to the seat and reduced retractor sensitivity. Drivers of articulated and rigid trucks were interviewed regarding seat belt use and reasons for non-use. Responses are analysed as a function of type of belt and anchorage, type of truck and driver characteristics.
