3 Introduction The annual Seatbelt Observation surveys were commissioned by the Road Safety Authority (RSA) with surveys carried out by Nationwide Data Collection (NDC) during September and October The aim of this project was to gather observational data of seatbelt compliance of drivers and passengers. Surveys were undertaken at 152 sites across Ireland on weekdays between 07:30 18:30. These sites comprised four different survey types: Survey Type No. Sites Front and Rear Adult Occupants 111 Rear Adult Occupants 13 Primary School Children 13 Secondary School Children 15 Table 1 - Number of sites surveyed by type Observations at schools were conducted during school opening or closing times and these times were checked on school websites to ensure that surveyors were in place at the correct times to observe maximum traffic flow. Methodology A briefing session was held for all staff to explain the objectives of the surveys and their individual tasks. Clear written instructions were provided to all operatives to use as an onsite reference along with contact details for the Project Manager. The instructions included a detailed method statement and risk assessment along with maps, GPS coordinates and site survey sheets. Test observation sessions for our fieldwork team were conducted during the briefing session to ensure a full understanding of the requirements of the project. Fieldworkers maintained daily contact with the Project Manager; any site issues were communicated and the RSA informed of any required alteration to the schedule or site locations. Following site completion all data was returned to the Dublin office for checking and subsequent processing. As part of this process any data issues were identified immediately and corrective action taken. Adult Seatbelt Wearing Survey Data was collected from direct observations of seatbelt wearing at 124 pre-determined sites; an additional 13 sites were identified for capturing adult seatbelt wearing among adult rear passengers only. Observations (including front and rear adult passengers) were recorded on RSA approved data sheets, similar to previous surveys to maintain consistency. Members of An Garda Síochána, driving instructors, taxi drivers and children were excluded from the front and rear adult seatbelt surveys. Data was collected at each site until the target sample of 140 observations was exceeded or a maximum time period of 3 hours was reached. Seatbelt Observation Surveys 2

4 Seatbelt Wearing Rates among Students In addition to the front and rear adult seatbelt surveys, the 2017 study included an assessment of seatbelt wearing rates of students attending primary and secondary schools. A total of 28 schools, including 15 secondary schools and 13 primary schools, were surveyed at opening or closing times. Schools were not notified regarding the survey. Seatbelt wearing was recorded for the student(s) in the car only. The observation procedure was similar to that of the adult seatbelt survey. To be consistent with previous surveys, surveyors selected a site in excess of 100 metres from each of the schools locations. Seatbelt Observation Surveys 3

7 Seatbelt Compliance 2017 Results and Analysis Adults The following statistics were generated using data from the Front and Rear Adult Occupants and Rear Adult Occupants surveys for seatbelt compliance. As such these samples contain only data relating to adults, and therefore any reference to occupants within this section relate only to them. At a glance 94% of all adults were wearing a seatbelt however this compliance rate varies by occupant type, with rear occupants showing the worst compliance at 83%. Seatbelt Compliance Driver Occupant Type Front Passenger Rear Passenger Overall Yes 96% 96% 83% 94% No 4% 4% 17% 6% Table 6 - Seatbelt compliance by occupant type. Sample sizes can be found in Table 2. How does gender seatbelt compliance rates vary by gender? Examining the occupant type further, females were generally observed with higher compliance rates and were 3% more compliant than male adults overall. Seatbelt Compliance Occupant Type Driver Front Rear Overall Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Yes (%) 94% 98% 93% 97% 83% 83% 93% 96% No (%) 4% 2% 7% 3% 17% 17% 7% 4% Yes Sample size 7,900 5,143 1,145 2,004 1,020 1,002 10,065 8,149 No Sample Size Table 7 - Seatbelt compliance by occupant type and gender Were drivers more compliant in the presence of passengers? Drivers who are in their car alone, with no passengers, were observed as less compliant with wearing a seatbelt at 95%. Drivers with passengers showed an additional 3% compliance at 98%. Driver Seatbelt Compliance Driver without passengers Driver with passengers Yes (%) 95% 98% No (%) 5% 2% Yes sample size 9,575 3,468 No sample size Table 8 - Seatbelt compliance for drivers by presence of (adult) passengers Seatbelt Observation Surveys 6

8 Does seatbelt compliance vary by road type? Overall the National Secondary Routes (both Urban and Rural) were observed with the highest compliance rate at 96%. Occupants on County Roads were observed as the least compliant, with an overall compliance rate of 92%. Rear occupants showed the lowest compliance rates again and also had the highest percentage difference among compliance rates, varying from 66% to 94%. Seatbelt Compliance/ Road Class Driver Occupant Type Front passenger Rear passenger Overall County Road 92% 93% 84% 92% Regional Road 96% 96% 72% 95% Rural National Primary Route 97% 98% 66% 95% Rural National Secondary Route 97% 96% 88% 96% Urban National Primary Route 96% 95% 94% 95% Urban National Secondary Route 96% 100% 77% 96% Urban Road 97% 97% 85% 94% Table 9 - Seatbelt compliance by road class and occupant type.

9 Does seatbelt compliance vary by county? Meath, Wicklow and Carlow showed the lowest levels of seatbelt compliance overall (Allowing for combination of driver and passengers). Galway, Mayo, Limerick and Leitrim showed the highest level of compliance. Rear passengers again showed the lowest levels of compliance, and the strongest percentage difference in compliance rates. However, as shown in Table 12, the sample size for rear occupants can be quite low compared to front occupants.

11 Compliance Rate Trend Analysis Year / Occupant The below table shows the trend for seatbelt compliance from historical surveys, observing drivers and adult front passengers only Male % 81% 82% 82% 86% 87% 87% 92% 90% 81% 91% 93% 90% 95% Female % 89% 92% 92% 93% 93% 94% 95% 94% 89% 94% 96% 95% 98% Overall 53% 57% 72% 84% 86% 86% 88% 90% 90% 94% 92% 84% 92% 94% 92% 96% Table 13 - Seatbelt compliance for drivers and adult front passengers, from 1991 to present day Within the scope of these surveys overall compliance rates for the occupants in question have increased consistently from , and from 2011 onwards compliance rates have stabilised. A graphical representation of the above data illustrates these trends with more clarity. Data labels indicate the overall seatbelt compliance for the year. Seatbelt Compliance Rates - by Gender 120% 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% 84% 86% 86% 88% 90% 90% 94% 92% 92% 94% 92% 96% 84% 72% 53% 57% Male Female Overall Year Figure 1 - Seatbelt compliance for drivers and adult front passengers, from 1991 to present day Female occupants have been almost consistently observed as more compliant than their male counterparts. On average this amounts to an additional 3% compliance for female driver/front passengers compared to males. When considering only rear occupants, it can be clearly seen that rear passengers are much less likely to be wearing a seatbelt than driver/front passengers. Seatbelt Observation Surveys 10

Sample sizes for 2017 can be found in Table 3. Seatbelt Observation Surveys 11

13 2017 Results and Analysis Children The following statistics were generated using data from the Primary School Children and Secondary School Children surveys for seatbelt compliance. As such these samples contain only data regarding children, and therefore any reference to occupants within this section relate only to them. At a glance Overall 93% of children were observed wearing seatbelts, with little clear bias between gender. Seatbelt Compliance Occupant Gender Male Female Overall Yes 92% 94% 93% No 8% 6% 7% Yes 1,787 1,804 3,591 No Table 15 - Seatbelt compliance of children by gender Does seatbelt compliance vary by front vs rear occupancy? Children present as a front passengers had a higher level of compliance (96%) than those in the rear (89%).
