Car accidents in Las Vegas - Incidences & smaller cars fatality rates
In our desire to reduce fuel consumption and increase efficiency, Americans have taken to owning and driving smaller cars. However, our attempts at good planetary stewardship may be increasing safety hazards. While all U.S. motor vehicles are stringently tested before being released to the public, certain vehicles are safer than others. A recent report from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety shows that some cars have a driver fatality rate of more than double the average—while other cars have fatality rates significantly lower than average. Included in the lowest fatality rate were:
- Chevrolet Astro van
- Toyota 4Runner
- Honda Odyssey
- Toyota Sienna
Conversely, the most dangerous cited by the report are smaller cars and trucks. When purchasing a new car, visiting the National Highway Safety Institute website may be helpful in determining the safest car for you and your family.
