Road report: VW crash diagnosis

Article Abstract:

Volkwsagenwerk has carried out research into actual road traffic accidents, which it claims can be analysed with a view to improving passive safety measures. It is important from the view of passive safety that the level of injury of the vehicle driver and passengers and the vehicle's load be ascertained. It has been found that frontal crashes are in the majority, but that when there are very grave injuries there are as many side crashes as frontal crashes.

Motown lowdown

Article Abstract:

Safety equipment at the Detroit Motor Show includes increased use of air bags in cars, while environmentally friendly fuel usage is also a new trend. This includes electric cars, following regulations in California on vehicle emissions, and cars which can burn natural gas, or methanol. The low price of fuel generally in the US still leaves little incentive for drivers to cut fuel consumption, however, and diesel cars appear to be neglected as an option.

Road report

Article Abstract:

Many people believe they have made enough contribution to a clean atmosphere just be changing to unleaded petrol, although surveys show that many towns have toxic pollution from motor vehicles at danger levels. Safety on motorways is becoming a problem due to traffic queuing, and excess speed causes most road casualties.
