How often do you wear your seatbelt? We want to know

We're asking whatcar.com readers to help us review the state of motoring in the UK.

Last week we looked at road accidents, and results of our poll showed that the majority of our readers - 63% - haven't been involved in an accident at all in the past five years.

Although the latest casualty figures from the Department for Transport show little progress in reducing fatality numbers, only 5% of readers had been in an accident in which there were any casualties. One third of readers had been in an accident during the past five years in which no-one was hurt.

A significant factor in any car accident is whether or not those involved were wearing seatbelts.

Our next poll asks whether you buckle up every time you get into a car, whether you don't bother on short journeys, or whether you would never wear one. Visit our homepage now to vote in the poll, and look out for more in the coming weeks.
