It had been going down pretty well since the 1970s. Many automobile-related deaths locally are pedestrians and cyclists rather than drivers. The amount that graph's wobbling around it doesn't look particularly significant, a meaningful rise is certainly possible but it's certainly not distinct enough over the general noise on the signal to say for sure. TBH I'm surprised it varies that much considering the total numbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As demonstrated by the fatal accident I mentioned above. I was going to suggest that airbags should be disabled until all occupants are belted but there are many ways in which seat belts can be circumvented it would be unlikely to make any difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US ones were designed with the assumption that the user probably isn't belted in... I used to have to use those little seat belt plug things to fool the belt alarm in the back of my SEAT. The dog went in there with his belt attached to an isofix point so the belt buckle was unused. Since the seat had occupancy detection, when he shifted his weight he was apt to trigger the belt alarm. Which got louder and more insistent the longer you ignored it. Did my head in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
