PREGNANT DRIVER AND SEATBELT RISK

A MONASH University study found that while nearly all pregnant drivers in Australia wear seatbelts, only 41.4% position them correctly, risking maternal and foetal safety. Proper positioning requires the lap belt under the belly and the shoulder belt between the breasts. Most participants hadn’t received guidance on correct use, highlighting a major public health gap. Researchers call for targeted education and better communication from healthcare providers to improve safety and recommend exploring vehicle and seatbelt design improvements.
