The Icing Is On The Cake... Safety Features in Cars Are More Than Meet The Eye...

There is a nail in your coffin, if your motor vehicle doesn't come equipped with solid as a rock safety features, the odds are your life would be shorter on the highway.

Knockout blow, according to the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety... cars are becoming safer, but the people who drive them are not. Plus, the study says without design changes including the growing prevalence of air bags, which have made vehicles safer the death toll on the nation's road would be higher.
I hate to report this, but according to the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety drunken driving rates have not changed much in 10 years, seat belt use has climbed at only a moderate pace, and people are driving faster.
"We have lost focus on the human behavior side," said Adrian Lund, an author of the study, which examined the period from 1994 to 2004.
"Every year we look at the fatality rate and it is coming down, and people are becoming complacent; people think we're doing everything right, Mr Lund said. "Our results show in recent years it's only because we're doing such a good job of getting people into safer vehicles."
It's no joke, the insurance group favors renewed pressure on drivers to buckle up, drive sober and stop speeding.
Responding to the implicit criticism that federal, state and local government were not doing enough to improve safety, Rae Tyson, a spokesman for the traffic safety agency, acknowledge, "There's no question that safety improvements, either those mandated by the government or installed by the manufacturers voluntarily, have contributed to a pretty steady decline in the fatality rate." But he added, "The increase in belt use has also had a significant impact on fatality reductions."
The agency says each increase of one percent point in belt use saves some 270 lives a year. But if history repeats itself; while belt use may continue to grow, other factors can work against safety.Kporchhaulling.
