As we age we become more fragile and it becomes more difficult for our bodies to withstand a car accident. Fatal injuries occur increasing more in accidents with older people than younger.
It is important to have made a good choice when purchasing a vehicle because your choice can make a difference in driver safety.
1. Safety belts - make sure safety belts fits correctly
2. Safety - make sure airbags and head restraints are standard.
3. Exterior Color - a lighter colored vehicle is easier for other drivers to see...especially at night.
4. Anti-lock brakes - a necessity to control steering and stopping
5. Mirrors - side mirrors are used when changing lanes and driving defensively
6. Adjustable drivers seat - make sure you have yourself properly situated in the drivers seat so if you are in an accident the airbag can work properly. Proper position is also necessary for being able to see over the steering wheel.
