Solutions are being sought in order to prevent accidents involving deaths and injuries that are the result of traffic accidents in the world. Among these solutions, the seatbelt has been one of the simplest, least cost effective and most efficient vehicles. The use of seatbelt plays an important role in reducing the risk of death and injury as a result of a traffic accident. Although it is mandatory to use seatbelt both in the world and in our country, its use rate is quite low in Turkey. Turkey is among the countries constituting almost half of the number of fatal accidents in the world. Traffic accidents should be considered as a priority in the public health agenda in terms of frequency, health and economic consequences of traffic accidents. The geographical structure, climatic conditions and existing roads in Erzurum constitute negativities in terms of traffic safety. The habit of using the seatbelts of the drivers is determined by observations in parallel with this consciousness. Observations were made on state highway numbered E80. In the observations conducted during the week and weekend, morning and evening observations, the habit of seatbelt use of drivers and front seat passengers were determined. In addition, vehicle types, gender and age variables were also observed. As a result, in accordance with the information obtained, the use of seatbelt was evaluated according to age, gender and vehicle types.
