Abstract
This study assessed the level of compliance to seatbelt utilization among inter-urban
commercial drivers in Oredo Local Government Area, Benin Metropolis, Edo State. The study was guided by five research questions, all of which were derived from the stated objectives of the research. Relevant literature related to each of the research questions was extensively reviewed to provide a theoretical and empirical foundation for the study. The reviewed literature addressed key concepts such as seatbelt utilization, awareness of seatbelt safety, factors influencing non-utilization, enforcement and safety perception, and the relationship between demographic characteristics and seatbelt use. This ensured that the study was firmly grounded in existing knowledge while also addressing identified gaps within the Nigerian and Benin Metropolis contexts. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population comprised 500 registered commercial drivers in Oredo LGA, and a sample of 150 drivers was selected using a multistage sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire validated by experts. Reliability of the instrument was established using the split-half method, yielding a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.70, indicating acceptable internal consistency.Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square, and Pearson Product–Moment Correlation
