The Vehicle Colour Study, conducted by Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) and published in 2007, analysed 855,258 crashes that occurring between 1987 and 2004 in the Australian states of Victoria and Western Australia that resulted in injury or in a vehicle being towed away. [20] The study analysed risk by light condition.
Systematic motor-vehicle safety efforts began during the 1960s. In 1960, unintentional injuries caused 93,803 deaths; [5] 41% were associated with motor-vehicle crashes. In 1966, after Congress and the general public had become thoroughly horrified by five years of skyrocketing motor-vehicle-related fatality rates, the enactment of the Highway Safety Act created the National Highway Safety ...
Vehicles meeting EU standards offer reduced risk of serious injury in frontal/side crashes and have driver‐side mirrors that reduce risk in lane-change crashes better, while vehicles meeting US standards provide a lower risk of injury in rollovers and have headlamps that make pedestrians more conspicuous.
Part 538: [87] Manufacturing incentives for alternative fuel vehicles; Part 541: [88] Federal motor vehicle theft prevention standard; Part 542: [89] Procedures for selecting light duty truck lines to be covered by the theft prevention standard; Part 543: [90] Exemption from vehicle theft prevention standard; Part 544: [91] Insurer reporting ...
Above 30 km/h (19 mph), the vehicle will reduce its speed automatically. [47] It also allows the vehicle to engage braking assist, if there is a risk of a frontal collision and the driver suddenly applies the brakes. [47] The speed difference to allow an automatic stop was raised to 50 km/h (31 mph) in 2013 with improved cameras. [49]
For example, if your comprehensive coverage deductible is $1,000 and a hail storm causes $3,000 in damage to your car, an insurance provider would only cover $2,000 of the damage.
Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is being developed in hopes that it will prevent more crashes and ease traffic congestion. Unfortunately the many potential benefits of vehicle-to-vehicle communication can only be achieved when all vehicles can communicate with one another. [10] Another technology in design is vehicle cyber security.
The last number means that your policy helps pay up to $25,000 for property damage per accident to cover costs to repair or replace other vehicles or structures in an accident you caused.
