Where do other safety sites fall short?
Over 30,000 Americans die in motor vehicle accidents each year. One in 8.5 drivers is involved in an automobile collision. Consumers Union publishes crash-test results on some new models in their annual Consumer Reports Auto Buying Guide Issue but neglects the 4 out of 5 motor vehicle buyers who purchase previously-enjoyed merchandise. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) provides safety information to the public via their publications, but only features cars built after 1995. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) does their own testing for the insurance industry, but again data is only available for late-model vehicles.
