According to the obtained data, only 27% of Baku drivers wear seat belts, with women and owners of modern cars being more prone to using them. Worryingly, only 9% of taxi drivers observed wore seat belts. In 2012, EASST, in cooperation with HAYAT and the FIA Foundation, will be focusing efforts on various seat belt initiatives in order to increase the use of seat belts among drivers in Azerbaijan.
