“…Marital status and education level are identified another two major factors affecting the occurrence of crashes (Sullman, Stephens, Kuzu, 2013;Demirer, Durat, Hasimoglu, 2012). Among the reviewed 612 samples, 63 divorced or widowed taxi drivers accounting for 10.29 percentages of total records have experienced at least one fatal or slight crash in the married sample group, with respect to marital status.…”

“…This can be concluded that increase in the level of education contributes to increase in the seat belt usage which leads to decrease in number of crashes and severities. Demirer, Durat, & Hasimoglu (2012) found that as the education level increases, the belief about seat belt protection against accident will also increase. They also found that most of the participants also claimed that they would like to use seat belt as if the problem of discomfort was overcome.…”

Driving, as an instrumental activity of daily living has a positive influence on individual health-related quality of life. A success driving performance will depends on credible drivers, optimum vehicles condition and smart road design. The successful collaboration in between human, machine and environment should encompass two ways 'communication'. However, 95% of road traffic accident was due to human errors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the seat belt compliance and quality of life among educated young adults in an urban university. Perhaps, this findings could be used to educate young drivers in the future.Keywords:4 seat belt compliance; young adult; quality of life keywords eISSN: 2398-4279 © 2017 Architecture, Planning & Surveying, UniversitiTeknologi MARA, Malaysia. https://doi.org/10.21834/ajqol.v2i7.62 Wan Ahmad Kamal, W.N.H., et.al. / Asian Journal of Quality of Life, AjQoL, 2(7), Jul / Sep 2017 (p.29-37) 30 UK.

However, this system comes with a significant risk. The most common risks that related with this system is for definite; road traffic accident.. Injury and death resulting from road traffic collisions is a great health problem worldwide. According to Royal Malaysia Police annual report, there were more than 6,000 killed and over 25,000 recorded injuries yearly for the past 7 years. These road injuries and fatalities have become a great concern for Malaysian government. This scenario may due to rapid development in Malaysia (Mohamad Ghazali Masuri, Akehsan Dahlan, Ajau Danis, & Khairil Anuar Md Isa, 2015). Increasing the number of cars also could increased the number of traffic accidents in directly (Bendak, 2005). There were many causes of accident either it is due to primary or secondary factors. Factors such as speeding, using a mobile phone and not wearing seat belt are considered as a contributing factors for injury and fatality (Mohamad Ghazali Masuri, Akehsan Dahlan, Ajau Danis, & Khairil Anuar Md Isa, 2015).RTA may happen due to secondary factor. In a simple meaning, this factor can be translated as 'due to others' or 'somebody mistake'. This factor usually happen unexpectedly. For example, children crossing the road without any notice, other drivers/road users running on red light, turning without giving any signal and etc. This usually contribute to fatal accident. To avoid this potential accident, drivers must be alert at all time. The factor of alertness usually is a combination of few other mental components such as: cognitive, time respond, stress and mental status.With regards to drivers' safety, sea...

“…Many variables associated with the non-use of seat belts, both in New Zealand and internationally are well understood. For example: males are more likely to die in crashes whilst not wearing a seat belt than women (Palamara et al, 2009;Romano & Voas, 2011); drivers aged 75 and older are most likely to wear a seat belt (Romano & Voas, 2011), whilst drivers in their late teens and early 20s are least likely to wear a seat belt (Eluru & Bhat, 2007;Alver et al, 2014); and seat belt usage can be understood as an equity issue, with usage rates being lower among people with fewer academic qualifications (Begg & Langley, 2000;Demirer, Durat & Haşimoğlu, 2012), and lower among people from marginalised and minority ethnic backgrounds (Raftery & Wundersitz, 2011;Shin et al, 1999).…”

There is an increased risk of death or serious injury for occupants who did not wear a seat belt in a crash. In New Zealand, between 2006 and 2016, the non-use of seat belts accounted for 19-30% of the overall motor vehicle road deaths, and this figure shows no sign of decreasing. It is important to better understand the contextual factors associated with crashes where seat belts are not worn, so that more relevant and effective road safety interventions can be designed and implemented. The aim of this research was to determine the profiles for seat belt non-users who were killed in motor vehicle crashes in New Zealand between 2011 and 2015. An in-depth analysis of 200 fatalities where seat belts were not worn (186 crash cases) was carried out following a Safe System framework, using NZ Police reports. Following this, a Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) developed five profiles of vehicle occupants who were killed in crashes where seat belts were not worn. While the stereotypical ‘young risky’ males were an important group, a range of other people and contexts emerged: ‘driving for work’; ‘elderly and retired’; ‘overseas passengers’; and ‘people driving in rural settings’. This has implications for tailored road safety interventions, as a variety of motivations and influences are likely to be at play, depending on the people involved.
