Determinants of the Use of Safety Restraint Systems in Italy

Wearing a safety restraint system is one of the most effective measures to substantially reduce the risk of serious or fatal accidents. Despite their benefits, a survey in 2015 revealed that on average 62 out of 100 Italian front car occupants wore their seat belt and only 15% of the rear seat passengers were regularly wearing their seat belt. According to several studies, one's (driving) behaviour is based on a combination of attitudes toward the behaviour, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control.
