From KIT DAVIES
The evidence that drivers drive faster while wearing seatbelts is typical
of the sort of psychological evidence that government departments find difficult
to accept as scientifically valid. Such evidence was presented to the DoT,
and ignored, at the time that front-seat safety belts became compulsory,
and your gruesome figures are the result.
The best answer is, as ever, the simplest. Seatbelts should be banned
on drivers and made compulsory on passengers.
