Surveys of safety belt usage in London and the Thames Valley over the period 1964-1973 are summarized, together with results of an intensive survey in Hounslow in 1970, a survey of the fitting and use of child restraints in 6 towns in 1974 and a Junior Accident Prevention Council of RoSPA study covering eight regions of Great Britian during 1969 and 1970. The proportion of cars fitted with safety belts to the front seats rose from about 28 percent in 1967 to 95 per cent in 1973. The increase in safety belt wearing in the last year coincided with a large national advertising campaign to encourage the use of safety belts sponsored by the Department of the Environment and followed the legal requirement to fit improved seat belts to new vehicles.
