During October 1991, a combined survey was done into the presence and use of safety belts and child seats on the back seats of cars. Contrary to previous years, it also looked at the belt use by both drivers and front seat passengers. The use of seat belts by car drivers in 1991 was practically the same as in 1990, and amounted to 77%. The belt use by drivers on roads within built-up areas increased to 62%. In view of this, the strong decrease of belt use started in 1990 was stopped in 1991. On roads outside built-up areas, the belt use by front seat passengers decreased to 78%. An increase of the belt use by front seat passengers to 68% was found on locations within built-up areas. Differences in seat belt use by car drivers appeared to correlate significantly with the type of the road. Per province, great differences were found in belt use on roads within and outside built-up areas, both for drivers and front seat passengers. In this context, the northern provinces showed the highest percentages of wearing rates.
