It certainly shocked me - but it was the accuracy of the reporting, not the data in the poll (a constituency poll by Scottish Opinion Limited ahead of next week's Ayr by-election) that was disturbing.

Back Seat Passengers Should Belt Up
Approximately 8 million motorists in Great Britain are still breaking the law and putting lives at risk by not wearing seat belts in the back seat of the car. According to the new Direct Line Motoring Report, only 73% of British motorists claim they always belt up when a passenger in the back seat, despite this having been a legal requirement since 1991. 17-24 year olds are the worst offenders - only 60% of them say they would always belt up when a passenger in the back seat, compared to 82% of those aged 65 and over.
