Even the most cautious drivers aren't immune to accidents in West Nyack, NY, especially if they find themselves around the wrong driver at the wrong time. In such cases, having a vehicle that meets higher safety ratings can make a huge difference.
Both the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rate vehicles for their ability to protect drivers under various dangerous conditions. Braking and emergency handling features that help drivers avoid accidents will improve a vehicle's rating, as well as protections for rear impacts, roof strength under rollover situations, stability control, and warning systems that alert drivers of an impending collision. Vehicles that offer better head restraints including those that provide head-protecting side airbags will also garner higher ratings.
Our staff here at Kia of West Nyack believe that avoiding an accident is always best, so having a car equipped with varied warning systems like a rearview camera, blind-spot monitor, a forward collision, and a rear cross-traffic warning system will not only improve your rating. It could also save your life.
