New technology, new car parts, new arguments
I have read on several blogs and articles about studies on technologies and car parts such as abs and air bags. Some studies claim these car parts actually increase the accident rate.
This makes me sick, these people study over several years and claim conditions are set and then record stats. However how do we know the stats would not be the same is the car parts were not installed, and its just that more people are driving thus more accidents.
These car parts such as ABS and airbags have been tested in labs, outdoors, in crash simulations and have proven to be increase safety.
I was talking to my mother in law who told me a story of why she does not use seatbelts and she says its because one woman told her she had a crash and the doctor told her she would of died if she wore the seatbelt.
Firstly that sounds like crap. Secondly yes there maybe a odd occasion that a seatbelt worn would wrap around someone’s neck and strangle them. But for 99 percent of the time it will save you flying out the window and smashing your head open on something at a fast speed.Personally i love the safety car parts including my ABS, power steering and my airbags they make me feel safe.
What do you guys think?
