Compared to the usage of front seat belts, fastening the rear seat belt was not a widespread habit in Italy in 2015. In fact, only about a fifth of car users in the North adopted this safety measure. In Southern Italy, the share of users who fastened the rear seat belt was as low as four percent.

Data obtained through a surveillance system monitoring the usage of vehicle safety equipment. The project "Ulisse" is conducted by the Istituto Superiore di Sanità in collaboration with the Ministero delle Infrastrutture e dei Trasporti.
The detection network allows to obtain feedback on the usage of front seat belts, rear seat belts, helmets, child seats and phones within 19 cities located throughout the national territory, covering a population of over 9 million people.
The monitoring activities were carried out in urban areas, sub-urban areas and in some cases extra urban areas.
