Safety standards becoming tougher for new cars

A recent Wall Street Journal article reported that The Insurance Institute will not grant its "top safety pick" award to any vehicle that doesn't earn a "good" rating on its new test of roof strength, starting with the 2010 models.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is also preparing a more-rigorous crash-testing system for 2011 models starting early next year. The NHTSA's new safety rating system will include a tough new side-impact test, which involves smashing vehicles into a pole, and a new overall safety-rating score.

While it doesn't mean that vehicles that do not receive this "top" safety pick are not safe, the NHTSA and the Insurance Institute are hoping that pressure will be put on manufacturers to take vehicles to a higher level of safety.

If you or someone you know has suffered injury from a Houston, Texas automobile accident, contact Texas car accident injury attorney Brian Beckcom immediately at 877.724.7800.
