Vehicle accidents and death mobiles
As vehicle accident rates are on the rise the experts have been doing some valuable research into the main causes of death during vehicle accidents.
It seems that cars account for the majority of road traffic accidents, seeing as they are the most popular mode of transport to be found on our roads. Specific makes and models of cars have been identified as more dangerous than others and figures for in-vehicle accident deaths include the following:
- Occupants of lightly built cars such as the BMW 3 series and Honda Accord have a 6%-8% chance of death in a vehicle accident involving two cars
- Traditional cars such as Volvos, which are renowned for their safety, halve this chance of death, giving 3%-4% chance of death
- It seems it is much safer to travel inside a SUV (sport utility vehicle) in the event of a vehicle accident as models such as the Jeep Cherokee and Toyota Land Cruiser give just 2% incidence of death
- Two of the safest cars to travel in are the Jaguar XJ series and the Land Rover Discovery, both with just 1% chance of death
Although you are likely to suffer personal injuries such as a whiplash injury, spinal cord injury, head injury or chest injury in any vehicle accident, some cars provide greater protection against death and fatal injuries than others. So, when you are considering buying a new car just think about how much you value your life.
