Bu çalışmanın amacı değişik koşullarda emniyet kemeri kullanımına etki eden faktörleri incelemektir. Sürücülerin emniyet kemeri kullanımı ile ilgili belirtmiş oldukları tutumlar ile çeşitli davranış ve tutumları incelenerek her ne kadar jandarma ve polis emniyet kemeri kontrolü yapsa da bazı sürücülerin neden emniyet kemeri kullanmadıkları anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Sonuçlar, emniyet kemeri ve trafik güvenliğiyle ilgili programları takip eden ve trafikte daha az heyecan arayan kişilerin daha büyük olasılıkla emniyet kemeri kullandıklarını göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte, katılımcıların saldırgan tutumları ve polis ve kameraların varlığı da katılımcıların bazı şartlarda emniyet kemeri kullanmalarına yol açtığını göstermiştir. Ancak, sonuçlar sürücülerin kaza geçirme ile ilgili algılarının emniyet kemeri kullanmalarına bir etkisinin olmadığını göstermiştir.
