The survey which was published today also found that 7% of female motorists they purposely wear their seatbelt incorrectly to protect their outfit.
Speaking about the dangers of wearing a seatbelt incorrectly Brian Farrell from the Road Safety Authority said: “Using the seatbelt under the arm is the same as not wearing a seatbelt at all, you may as well not be wearing a seatbelt.”
“In the event of a collision, you could suffer horrific injuries, horrific head injuries, facial injuries, neck injuries and injuries to the spine as well.”
