In recent years, cars have become much safer One reason is that security is now a selling point in new cars - people actually seek and buy safer cars in the United States, NHTSA blocks car and analyzing data in order to improve car safety.
Automakers crash many vehicles each year Automakers are required to certify that their cars meet safety standards FMVSS These rules cover everything from brightly flashing bulbs must automakers crash test requirements must be certain if NHTSA goes to a broker in the US, buys a car and it crashes at 30 mph, the car will all FMVSS requirements to ensure that all the different combinations of engines transmissions and accessories go, automakers could plant themselves 60 to 100 vehicles.
It is rare that a car does not meet FMVSS requirements in order to challenge the automakers more - and to provide useful information to consumers to buy cars - NHTSA began its new car assessment program NCAP NCAP Car plant at 35 mph 56 kph both frontal and side impact, and rates cars based on probability occupants must be injured in an accident You can find the online assessments a good first step in the search for a new car.
What are my chances of being seriously injured This is a rather difficult question to answer, we must define a serious injury Much research has been done and is still done to classify Crash tests researchers injury came with a known standard AIS Abbreviated injury scale to classify different injuries These same researchers published a manual containing detailed of all injuries that are normally found in the car descriptions fails Each injury is assigned a rank based on the severity, it 1 had only cuts and minor bruises; 3 indicates a serious injury that requires immediate medical treatment and can be life threatening; 6 is fatal.
Assessment systems researchers used crash test data to determine the likelihood of injuries that can be sustained in an accident In addition, these data were used to create the system of stars from NHTSA This system makes the odds of automotive safety easier for consumers to understand when buying a car.
In a frontal collision the star rating is determined by the worst score on these three criteria.
In order to receive a five star rating, three of these criteria must be below the level that indicates a chance of 10 percent of serious injuries There is a star for each of the front seat passengers, for each type of test that was perform frontal or side impact.
