Description: Here is a video as Adrian Lund, President of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) discuss some criteria which evaluate the winners for the 2008 Top Safety Pick. The list is the Insurance’s on a row for crash protection. When you shop for a new vehicle this list will helps you to find one that offer the best protection. These winners provides good protection in all three of our crash test. On the final crash, it is important that the occupant compartment be maintained so that there’s a lot of room for the safety belts and air bags to protect you. On the side impact, it must be good in terms of managing the side crashes and has a side air bags which protects passenger’s head for whatever coming-in from the outside. On the rear test, we’re looking at the risk of neck entry in minor crashes. Top safety picks have seats and head strength that keeps the body and the head moving forward together to reduce the strain on the neck and reduce the risk of neck entry. Neck entry is commonly life threatening, can be devoting and most of the time take a long time to recover. More manufacturers, design seats and head strengths to reduce the risk of neck entry but others are still logging behind. Electronics Stability Control (ESC) helps drivers maintain control of the vehicle during emergency maneuver on the road. We require ESC in order to win the top safety pick award because we’ve seen it’s dramatically reduces fatal collisions which the best crash is the one that doesn’t happen. Here are the 11 winners for 2008: Audi A3, Honda Accord, Subaru Impreza, Honda Odyssey, BMW x3, BMWx5, Hyundai Veracruz, Saturn Vue, Toyota Highlander, Honda Element and Toyota Tundra.
