National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Makes Crash-Test Rating Tough
Posted on Aug 27, 2009
The National HIghway Traffic Safety Administration will make it harder for vehicles to get five-star ratings for 2011 models. The new safety rating system will include a new side-impact test and a new overall safety-rating score. The new system will pressure manufactures to make vehicles with a higher level of safety-ratings.
A system ratings change needed to be made becasue auto makers have discovered how to engineer vehicles to pass safety test making all cars above average but not specifing the difference in safety technology. The lastest focus is roof strength and the cars ability to withstand a test designed to stimulate the roof-crushing impact of a rollover accident.
Car rollover accidents can be deadly however the new rollover accident tests will help consumers know which car will best protect them incase of a rollover accident. If you or someone you know has been injured in an auto accident it is important to contact a personal injury attorney.
