"Based only on the car's visual appearance, there are several aspects of this vehicle that look like they may be a threat to pedestrians," claims Euro NCAP's director of strategic development, Matthew Avery. "You cannot fail Euro NCAP, but you can get a bad score." Euro NCAP assessments are voluntary but a low score could deter consumers who prioritize safety.
"Until recently there has been a woeful lack of focus in the US on similar pedestrian protection from automobiles. Earlier this month, however, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) unveiled the first rule that would limit the risk of pedestrian head injuries in a collision." This highlights the evolving landscape of vehicle safety regulations.
"Europe's tougher regulations make for safer cars, for those inside and out. Designed to test how safe a car is in a crash, Euro NCAP instantly cut through automakers' safety claims with rigorous independent testing, hard facts, and an easy-to-understand five-star rating system." This underscores the importance of independent safety assessments.
