Seat belt use under voluntary and mandatory conditions and its effect on casualties. This book was located in the same section as the previous book in this bibliography which made it easy to find. This book was chosen because pages 259-283 discusses the use of safety belts and its effect on casualties. This is related to my behavior of not using seat belts which was discussed in part one of this term paper. The book discusses an analysis which points out a relationship between certain vehicle characteristics and seat belt usage.
Sports cars correlate with the least amount of seat belt use.
I have a sports car and thus I too affirm this correlation. Although, this is important for me to know, it is still not a significant amount of information that would persuade me to use my seat belt. My increased resistance to use a seat belt represents that I still have higher priority to satisfy my need to feel comfortable. Searching for the sources enhanced and reinforced my researching skills while the sources I found validated and affirmed many conceptions I had during Part One of the term paper. This process gave me an overall better understanding of my driving behavior.
