Apr 19, 2007 -- Which cars are the safest to drive?
A recent study by the Insurance Institute on Highway Safety shows in which vehicles you are most likely to die. The most dangerous vehicle you can drive is the two-door Chevy Blazer. Ironically, the safest vehicle is also a Chevy the Astro Mini-Van. The Blazer had a 232; the Astro had a 7. These two have gotten the most coverage. But what about the type of vehicle that is the safest overall. Four-door mini-cars, for example, are not safe. They have the highest number of traffic-related fatalities. SUVs also did horribly,. But Electronic Stability Control systems are going to make SUVs much safer in the future. So, which cars did the best? Luxury cars are apparently the safest. That may have something to do with the characteristics of the driver. People who drive luxury cars are middle-aged and drive much more cautiously. The Mazda Miata, for example, seems like it wouldnt be very safe. But it gets great ratings because people who buy them are middle-aged. Mini-vans and mid-sized cars are also in the safe category.
