The European Commission with the active contribution of NTUA, SWOV and KFV has published at the European Road Safety Observatory, the Protective Equipment Safety Performance Indicator (SPI) Report which focuses on the prevalence and the road safety effects of road users’ use or non-use of bicycle helmets, motorcycle helmets, seat belts and Child Restraint Systems (CRS). This Report showed that in 2023, 27% of all car occupant fatalities were not wearing a seat belt, while the share of car occupant fatalities without a seat belt varied between 14% and 55% among EU countries. Furthermore, 82% of killed powered two-wheelers in 2023 were wearing a helmet on urban roads, compared to 92% on rural roads and 96% on motorways. Moreover, 63% of powered two-wheelers fatalities wearing no helmet were between 25 and 64 years old.
