Datsun GO Fares Video Results Indian poorly in crash test.
India may be the most dangerous in the world for motorists place.
Of the 1 24 million people who die in traffic accidents each year, a disproportionate number are in India The World Health Organization says about 231,000 traffic deaths took place there in 2010, or about 18 cent of world It ranks India and Nigeria as two deadliest countries in the world, per person.
If you want a glimpse why so many Indian drivers are killed in accidents, look no further than the crash test video above, which shows the consequences of a Datsun GO to the car and its occupants.
Note that the head of the driver feels the steering wheel that is because there are no airbags in the car, which retails for about 6,500 current rates This does not have antilock brakes.
Global NCAP, the British company that tested the vehicle, said it earned zero five stars on her scale rating, like many other cars tested in the Indian market Maruti-Suzuki Swift joined the Datsun GO zero star the company ranking.
But there may be more here than meets the eye Critics say Global NCAP, which are not affiliated to the US national program for cars evaluation, has been in a political dust-up with Indian leaders for a while and frustrated that he can not get a foothold in the Indian car market booming.

It is remarkable that Nissan is ready to launch a new model that is so less that there is no point at all in the adjustment of air bags in the car, even as an option, he said Nissan seems content to do nothing at all and exploit the uneven application of crash test standards with minimum emerging markets We believe that this reveals a poor commitment to corporate social responsibility.
While the rear-scenes bickering between Global NCAP Manufacturers Nissan and India certainly deserves further consideration and raises questions about the feverish promotion of Global NCAP crash on the results of the Datsun at the end, we recommend always get in a car with airbags.
