    Race and Seat Belts in North Carolina

    Race and Seat Belts in North Carolina


    This study provides an analysis of the determinants of seat belt use for automobile drivers in the State of North Carolina. A Factor Analysis and Random Utility model are offered to capture the attributes of seat belt use that plausibly govern the choice to use them or not. The principal findings are (1) Enforcement measures such as the levying of fines for not wearing a seat belt are effective in encouraging seat belt use, and (2) There are racial differences in the response to enforcement measures in that relative to non-black drivers, black drivers are more sensitive to seat belt enforcement measures. The second hypothesis that was tested was the relationship of risk taking to seat belt usage. In the random utility model, it was found that an index of risk taking was negatively related to seat belt usage.
