Small Car Safety: An Issue

That Needs Further Evaluation






The rising number of smaller cars and their
ability to adequately protect their occupants
are continuing concerns of vehicle and
highway safety experts. The physics of
smaller cars prevent them from offering as
much passenger protection in every situa-
tion as larger cars. However, safety prob-
lems cannot adequately be defined or cor-
rected until the smaller cars' performance
on today's roads is determined.
The Department of Transportation has done
some studies, but it has never made a
complete analysis using accident data.
The Department should determine which
smaller car safety issues need the greatest
attention and what countermeasures can
be used to reduce accidents, injuries, and
fatalities.
