Cars are becoming safer and safer, but by which car you have a great opportunity that you a ride after you can tell?
There is more and more traffic on the road and this will, of course, also for more accidents. The American Insurance Institute for Highway Safety did research on the deadly accidents that took place from 2012 to 2015. Did they also research into and the difference is again in what kind of car you drive. In a SUV you are relatively the safest. In this category were per 1 million registered vehicles and 6 people to life.
Not unexpectedly, came out of the research showed that the smaller your car is, the greater the chance is that you have an accident not survived. Nevertheless, the differ quite large. This is the top 10 of the most deadly cars:
1. Hyundai Accent – 104 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles
2. Kia Rio – 102 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles
3. Scion tC – 101 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles
4. Chevrolet Spark – 96 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles
5. Nissan Versa – 95 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles
6. Ford Fiesta – 83 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles
7. Kia Soul – 82 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles
8. Dodge Challenger – 81 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles
9. Nissan Titan Crew Cab 73 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles
10. Nissan Sentra – 72 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles
The dubious honor goes to the Hyundai Accent with 104 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles, followed by the Kia Rio which is just a little less scored. Furthermore, Nissan also not a very good test or Americans don’t like Japanese cars.
While the category of ‘bad’ cars between the 59 and 108 deaths per 1 million registered vehicles fluctuated, there were also vehicles that no casualties caused. This included, for example, the Audi Q7, Mazda CX-9 and the Volkswagen Tiguan. These are so secure in the SUV class.
However, research is not a reason to immediately different cars all the way to ulcers. In the study, namely to not look at ‘who’ and ‘how’ the car was driven. These are often major factors in a fatal accident. All I have to say that the Hyundai Accent is not exactly made to be hard to tear.
