| Publisher Description: This 246 page book was created to help you select a vehicle that may greatly increase your odds of surviving in an accident. Crash test ratings and fatality data are analyzed and codified to reveal their statistical significance and the results are distilled into a consumer-friendly format. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety both publish data based on crash-testing however both agencies ignore each other's test results, and they often disagree on which vehicles are safest. They warn the consumer to avoid light-weight vehicles however their ratings data are presented without factoring in this important consideration. Also, both agencies use a rating scale to categorize crash-test results but fail to provide the statistical distribution of ratings for the vehicles they test. The methodology presented in this book was developed to overcome these crucial missing safety considerations. |
