The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety conducted a survey into the fatality rate of most cars on the roads today. The survey revealed which makes and models are the most dangerous. The statistics have people in the auto industry up in arms because it called certain cars out on the carpet. They protested that the fatalities are due in part to the driver. So, what does the IIHS say? The tie for the most dangerous cars goes to tiny, 2-door sporty cars and pick-up trucks. Four-door small cars were not nearly as unsafe. And the safest cars were mid-sized sedans and mini-vans. Well, typical minivan drivers also drive SUVs, which are considered unsafe. So, how do you reconcile that? It’s partly related to the design of the car. SUVs have high centers of gravity, which can mean the car is more prone to tip or roll, especially if the driver is not experienced. So get your kids out of those SUVs and into something they can handle. Look at the stats at iihs.org
