The inaccessibility of seat belts in taxicabs

American Journal of Public Health, 1989, vol. 79, issue 3, 330-331

Abstract: The accessibility of seat belts was determined in a total sample of 200 taxicabs waiting to pick up passengers at eight city airports. A rear belt was 'accessible' (able to be fastened within 10 seconds) in 111 (55.5 per cent) taxicabs. The proportion varied by city from 16.0 per cent (New York City) to 96.0 per cent (Minneapolis-St. Paul) and was higher for taxicabs in cities covered by mandatory state seat belt legislation.
