Rear amber turn signals, THAT CAN BE SEEN FROM ALL ANGLES, should be a requirement. It’s unbelievable the amount of cars that move to red turn signals each year

For models also sold in Europe its worth checking out European safety ratings too. NCAP for Example

This crash data is interesting but I fear the real change is the adoption of smartphones. About 20 years ago is exactly when fatalities stopped decreasing. iPhone came out in 2007

A steel plate weighing 145,000 kg... That's a lot of steel. It's twice the weight of a typical battle tank. 😳

cars in America have been getting so big, do you know anything about how that affects safety? it seems more dangerous for pedestrians and bikes, and I've seen so many videos of that happening

suvs and or small trucks sold to suburban drivers is the main reason fatality rate has refused to go down. They are so dangerous.

Of course, the most effective way to reduce crashes and therefore fatalities, is to get folks out of the car and into public transit

My favorite is when people think vehicle are less safe bc they don’t understand a crumple zone

Do these mortality data focus on drivers and passengers only? Some new vehicles do not seem super safe for pedestrians and bicycles

Ignore the US testing orgs and look for the (Euro) NCAP scores instead. The US testing orgs are stuck in the past!

Great post as usual. I think the biggest story here is the smaller disparity of good bs bad rating. Also the lack of enforcement remains a large problem.

Does this consider the people outside the car?

I'd be interested to see a comparison with other countries and why fatality rates may differ.

Life eliminates stupidity and seatbelts saves them. Kinda explains why traffic is so much worse in the last 30 years.

I wonder how those testing the cars for safety afford to cause so many collisions? Do they get the cars from the manufacturer at some discount?
