tractor-trailer. The primary findings are 

the following: 

• Data from Florida and North 

Carolina showed decreases in fatalities 

and serious injuries to passenger vehicle 

occupants when rear-ending a tractortrailer subsequent to the 

implementation of Safety Standards 223 

and 224. However, the observed 

decreases are not statistically significant 

at the 0.05 level, possibly due to the 

small sample sizes of the data. 

• Using supplemental data collection 

from North Carolina, it is shown that 

passenger vehicle passenger 

compartment intrusion is more apt to 

occur when the corner of the trailer is 

impacted, rather than the center of the 

trailer. This result is statistically 

significant at the 0.01 level. 

• It is not possible to establish a 

nationwide downward trend in fatalities 

when a passenger vehicle rear-ends a 

tractor-trailer—neither in terms of total 

number of fatalities, percentage of 

fatalities in rear impacts relative to other 

passenger vehicle fatalities involved in 

tractor-trailer accidents, nor number of 

fatal crashes per 1,000 total crashes. The 

Fatality Accident Reporting System 

does not list the model year of the 

trailer. 

In April 2009, NHTSA issued An InService Analysis of Maintenance and 

Repair Expenses for the Anti-Lock Brake 

System and Underride Guard for 

Tractors and Trailers (74 FR 18803).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Safety 

Standard 213 (49 CFR 571.213) 

establishes standards for child restraint 

systems, including booster seats, 

manufactured for use in motor vehicles 

as well as aircraft. This report uses CDS 

data from 1998–2008 and 17 combined 

years of State data from Kansas, 

Washington and Nebraska to estimate 

the effects of early graduation from 

child restraint seats to booster seats and 

of early graduation from booster seats to 

lap and shoulder belts. Estimates are 

computed by double-pair comparison, a 

method uniquely suited to address the 

confounding variables which may bias 

results and are difficult or impossible to 

account for with other statistical 

methods. 

The principal findings are that among 

3–4-year-olds there is evidence of 

increased risk of injury when restrained 

in booster seats rather than the 

recommended child restraint seats. This 

effect may be more pronounced in the 

3-year-olds. Among 4–8-year-olds there 

is strong evidence of increased risk of 

injury when restrained by lap and 

shoulder belts rather than the 

recommended booster seats. The 

magnitude of this effect is estimated at 

a 14% increase in risk of any type of 

injury, but may vary depending on data 

source and injury severity.
