You can feel more confident buying a vehicle if you check the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration safety rating. This organization performs a variety of tests in order to assess how safe a vehicle is. They do a frontal crash test. They simulate a crash that involve two vehicles that are of the similar weight. They then assess the type of injuries that the dummies get to their chest, legs, head and neck.
They also perform a side barrier test and a side pole test. The vehicle is given a rating based on the performance of the vehicle. The highest rating that a vehicle can get is five stars. The lowest is one star. The higher the rating is, the safer the vehicle is for you to drive. You should select a car that has at least a four-star safety rating.
