Buckle Up in Back

About 80 percent of people surveyed say they buckle up when sitting in the front seat of a car, but only 40 percent do so when sitting in the back seat of a car. The Air Bag Safety Coalition, which interviewed 800 registered voters last week, said it hopes that the circumstances of Princess Diana's death - she was unbuckled in the back when the car she was in crashed - will help convince people of the necessity of using safety belts at all times.
