Who here considers safety before buying a car?

I'd still rather have my head impact a cushy airbag in a head on collision as opposed to the hard steering wheel
why the fuck it took until the late 80s for airbags to make a resurgence is beyond me

>Drunken illegal beaners without citizenship or insurance fly around in giant Tahoe’s and explorers. Hits strollers on sidewalk.

>drunken crackhead niggers driving around with blaring rap music in old ass navigators and Escalades with rotted frames, bald tires, and weal brakes. Flys through stoplight and into multi family house.

>Dumb cunt Stacies late for class in their gifted supercharged Range Rover not even bothering to Defog the window while speeding to school while texting their mom. Pulls left across traffic without looking.

>Stacies mom speeding late to yoga class to go fuck her male yoga instructor in her brand new Yukon Denali or Escalade while texting Stacie . Didn’t bother to clear the snow off her car. Also applying makeup to her Botox face. Merges into you

>Guido the Italian stallion weaving in and out of traffic late to his job selling annuities to dumb retirees in his CPO AMG C63, while texting Stacies mom that he will pick up the coke from Jamal so they can fuck while her cuck husband is away for work. Guido is doing coke and doing curls at the same time while gesticulating wildly at anyone who didn’t get out of his way fast enough. Slams into you from beheind because he didn’t see traffic suddenly slowing down to look at the accident that Stacies mom caused on the side of the road.
I have kids and a bright future. You bet your ass I take safety seriously now. My cars are full of airbags, and I take ntsa aggregate totals of injuries and fatalities of each vehicle very seriously. The listed three level categories are not enough.

I also value active safety features as well as feature that allow rapid and safe manouvering like good tires or torque vectoring AWD systems and active body roll systems. You need to be able to make safe recoveries from high speed oh shit moments.

Cars are getting more safe, but the payload is getting more deadly all the time

Head on offset collisions are the things typical Veeky Forums buyers need to worry about. That’s a lot of speed coming to a halt. And it’s coming to a halt in your ankles and shins.

I think the safest car is the one in a quiet city.

Fuck the degenerates.

glad to know not everyone on Veeky Forums is some autistic boiracer who gets off to Initial D fantasies

This, but It is interesting to see that the small overlap collisions are all going on: If your wheel impacts straight into said barrier/object.

If you turn your wheel slightly before impact, it pancakes into the body an doesn't break your legs.

A few nights I spent time going over piles and pages of recovered/crashed trucks, trying to see how often a small overlap accident happened, I kept finding it looks like drivers were reacting by turning away, and the wheels ended up pancaking instead of spearing into the cab.

so basically I want to turn to the right before a head on impact if I can?

Daily driver, I like having a safe car because you regret it if you don't have it.

But yeah, I consider rollover safety, side impact and losing my legs in a frontal crash.

It ain't fun.

i think small overlap tests also test the car's ability to protect at higher speed crashes. These tests are all uniformly set at like 40mph for some reason. I won't do the math but hitting a small face object at 40 is probably the equivalent of hitting a broad face object at 60 or something

I'm rarely under 70mph. Fuck up at that speed and you're done in most cars. Now I'm in a 2600lb tin can so even the worst rated modern car would be a upgrade.

fuck you're fucking gay, i hope an 18 wheeler plows into you and kills your faggot children.

It's got a 6 point roll cage bro, it's safe as fuck

Cringe

hi newfag

No because I want to die

It was one of my main concerns. I demanded the year that full airbags became standard in my car and reviewed all its crash test data

i ride a motorcycle

how's it like being an angsty teen?

what's it like being a hypersensitive normalfag

>I have a future

Get a load of this loser.

Explains a lot

Who here worries about 0-60 times on a daily driver?

Anything with side airbags that isn't mocked for having a shitty score is good enough for me.

Yes.
The safer it is the more pigfat it is and therefor the less interested I am in it.
>buying numale five star rolling safezones
>sacrificing driving fun for muh safety
if you are not willing to die for driving enjoyment why the fuck are you here soyboy

The problem isn't dying. Dying is easy. The problem is living on.

That was vividly and beautifully written. Thanks, user.

>Claims he has a bright future
>Is a degenerate racist

Maybe you should learn how to drive, then you wouldn't have to worry about buying a tank to protect you when you inevitablely slide off the road in inclement weather.

i used to not but after getting in 2 accidents and having permanent bodily injuries; i now care alot about safety.

inb4 you suck at driving or stop being stupid
i wasn't the cause of either accident was always a woman or nigger who wasn't paying attention

>t. Jamal driving through my house as we speak

I only care about safety for my family and my GF. They all drive 5-Star normiemobiles. I myself ride a motorcycle and drive a car that is notoriously unsafe in collisions. Honestly I’d rather not survive a crash than have a permanent injury. I know it seems lame but that’s just how I feel.

I don't be a use every car today is conforming to the same safety standards as every other car

this

bes racist as all shit.. i have a bright future.. lol.. no u dont.. plus nobody had your puppies ya liar

It took me a few years, and my fair share of accidents on motorcycles, long boards, skis, etc. to release how fragile a human body is, especially your brain.

So I'm a big fan of additional side airbags.

never even took this aspect into consideration. I prolly still won't since my first car will most likely have an adequate one anyways

seatbelt is significantly more important than an airbag.

Dont care so long as the car has seatbelts and maybe an airbag or two
However if it's a classic car, i'm willing to forgo all of that stuff because it isn't going to be driven fast or even that often anyways

I do. Buy volvos

You might be superb behind the wheel, but that local blonde still has a chance of ending your life.

As cool as wranglers are they are total death traps!

>complaining about racism on Veeky Forums
Do you know where you are? Are you new?

>implying you can avoid retard drivers 100% of the time
being the best driver does not include omnipresence

what the fuck car that has an airbag doesn't have a seatbelt, dumbshit?
A seatbelt isn't gonna stop my head from slamming into the steering wheel

If it's working it fuckin' will.

I'm no expert driver or lawyer, but I am noticing that it looks like the people who turned (and didn't roll, I think a last second jerk of the wheel increases the rolling risk at the right speed, just, logically speaking here) - it appears that when the wheel was dead on into tht small overlap barrier, it gets thrown into the cabin.
Generally, on the burgertrucks with 5,000lbs of whoopass tht's trying to stop.

But, if it looks like they were turning or something else, and the wheel was hit at a diagonal, it was pancaked into the frame vs into the cabin.

I think they're also thinking of 2 idiots at 20mph going over the double yellow on their cellphones - and while not directly smaashing into eachother, "skimming" eachother.

If you hit right smack dab in the middle, from the looks of it for 2018 vehicles, most of them are going to crumple up and it'll be okay.
When moving offset, suddenly there's less to stop the vehicle.

You won't always want to die.

>overconfidence, the breakfast of young males everywhere.

Hey, remember, feeling invincible will last forever and that feeling is never horribly and painfully yanked away from arrogant young risktakers!

Yeah but "Herp P Derp, badass user", has experienced all there is to be experienced and knows all there is to know at the ripe old age of 20 and a few months. Therefore, you're a normalfag.

Experience tends to cure the feeling of invincibility that comes with youth.

>watch videos of older crash tests
>perfectly belted in dummies still slam their heads into the wheel
"no"
