Car Safety Devices That Can Help Reduce the Chance of a Crash 1

Over 1 million Americans are involved in car accidents each year. This means you will have to work hard to not wind up another statistic when behind the wheel. With all of the accidents each year, many in the automotive industry have started implementing various safety features to reduce the amount of crashes. When in the market for a new vehicle, you will have to do some research to ensure you get a car with great safety features. The following are some of the best safety features on the market and how they can be beneficial while you are driving.

The Forward Collision Warning

Having hazards suddenly surface while you are driving can cause a lot of problems. Regardless of what the hazard is, acting in a hurry to dodge it can be a lot easier said than done. With the forward collision warning system, you will be able to get an alert when a hazard is detected. This will give you plenty of time to hit your brakes and avoid whatever is in the road. There are a variety of cars that feature this system, which means you should have no problem finding it when looking for a vehicle to purchase.

The Blind Spot Warning

Regardless of how well you adjust your mirrors, you will usually have blind spots. These blind spots can cause a lot of trouble when trying to pull into oncoming traffic. If you are unable to see the cars coming, it will usually lead to an accident. A blind spot warning system will alert you to any oncoming cars that may be in your blind spot. This system uses a series of sensors to relay pertinent information to the driver when they are behind the wheel.

Backup Cameras

Some of the most common places for car accidents is in parking lots. Pulling into and backing out of a parking spot can be very difficult. If you back out in front of an oncoming car, you will be involved in a collision that can cause injury to your body and your vehicle. With backup cameras, you will be able to avoid these types of accidents. The backup cameras come in a variety of different types and sizes. Usually, there will be a large display in the cabin of a vehicle to make it easy for you to view the footage.

Inflatable Seat Belts

Another great safety feature that was developed by the team at Ford is the inflatable seat belt. If a car is crashed, then seat belts inflate to offer more protection for the drive. These seat belts also help to reduce the amount of force the drive feels after a collision. With these seat belts, you will be able to avoid neck and back injuries in some instances.
