This paper presents the trend of seatbelt use, disaggregated by vehicle occupants, in Ho Chi Minh City between 2016 and 2018. We conducted statistical analyses to identify the determinants of seatbelt use, including the effect of a new fine imposed against seatbelt law violation in the rear seats that became effective in January 2018. Seatbelt use was observed in at least half of all vehicle occupants, and drivers were more likely to use seatbelts than passengers. Only 4.4% of children younger than 5-years and 2.5% of 5 to12-year-olds used a child restraint system. Seatbelt use increased among all occupants after the imposed fine, especially among rear-seat passengers. Imposing new or increasing fixed penalties, with enforcement and public education, may increase seatbelt use to prevent road traffic injuries.
本文展示了 2016 年至 2018 年期间胡志明市汽车乘客安全带使用情况的变化趋势。我们进行了统计分析，以确定安全带使用的决定因素，包括 2018 年 1 月生效的对后排座椅安全带违法行为的新罚款对安全带使用的影响。至少有一半的汽车乘客会使用安全带，且司机比乘客更有可能使用安全带。5 岁以下的儿童中仅有 4.4%和 5 至 12 岁的儿童中仅有 2.5%使用儿童约束系统。罚款实施后，所有乘客的安全带使用率都有所上升，尤其是后排乘客。通过加强执法和公众教育，实施新的或增加固定罚款，可能会提高安全带使用率，以预防道路交通伤害。
