New Auto Safety Systems

Most of the vehicle safety systems are only in newer vehicles.
If you are considering a new car, or late model used car, make sure you ask about safety features.
Some of these are simple improvements to older technology, but seem like they come out of the pages of a science fiction movie! These features can help you avoid accidents.
That means that you, and your passengers, will be safer.
It also means you can help protect your new car investment.
In addition, if you are less likely to have an accident, other drivers will be safer too.
Insurance companies love these safety features because they help lower risks.
So you may get an additional benefit in the form of auto insurance discounts.
Your investment in new car safety features can pay off for years down the road! Rear View Cameras - I have had 2 accidents because larger SUV type vehicles backed into me! Both times, the drivers said they never sar my car.
They were probably looking in the rear view mirror, but were blind to my vehicle because it was lower to the ground.
If they could not see my car, imagine how they would do if a bike or small child was behind them! Cameras are mounted on the rear of a vehicle.
The driver can see an attached monitor to make sure the way behind them is clear.
These would allow them to avoid backing into, or running over, something behind them that was below the level of the rear of their car.
In my opinion, this is a valuable safety feature for anybody with a vehicle that has a large blind spot in the rear.
Radar Sensors - These high tech sensors can monitor a variety of other objects to help drivers avoid accidents.
Some can monitor other traffic, judge distance and speed, and alert drivers, or even stop the car, when another object is too close.
You may not be aware you are about to have an accident, but your car will know! Others can tell if a driver is about to move out of the traffic lane without first using a turn signal.
This would encourage a driver to signal, and also help a driver know when they are about to swerve out of their lane.
This could be very helpful for drivers on a rough or dark road.
Vehicle Stability Control - These systems actually work with the car's brake system to help drivers avoid swerves when hitting a slick patch of road.
Sometimes, just after it starts to rain, roads can become slippery.
Other times, patches of ice may not be that visible.
These systems can detect the conditions when a car starts to swerve out of control, and they work with the brake system to bring the vehicle back into control.
Why Consider Auto Safety? In my opinion, these new car safety features provide a win-win situation for everybody.
You can keep yourself, and your passengers, safer.
You also help protect your vehicle investment.
You even protect other people.
Of course, car insurance companies like these new systems because they lower risk.
You may also benefit from lower insurance rates.
If you want to buy a new car, look into the safety features first!
