All newly manufaCTURED automobiles sold in the US within the last 40 years must have an energy absorbing steering column (AKA “collapsable steering column). This is one of the first safety features mandated by the federal government. The steering columns of older cars caused many fatal injuries during frontal collisions, as the steering shaft punctured the chest of the unfortunate drivers.
