5 t6 n4 q2 _5 A/ wFor frontal crash ratings, crash-rating dummies representing an average-sized adult are placed in driver and front passenger seats and secured with the vehicle's seat belts. Vehicles are crashed into a fixed barrier at 35 miles per hour (mph), which is equivalent to a head-on collision between two similar vehicles each moving at 35 mph. Since the rating reflects a crash between two similar vehicles, make sure you compare vehicles from the same weight class, plus or minus 250 lbs., when looking at frontal crash star ratings.
我们公司的两个老板,都很有钱,但开的都是大Truck,上下班开的都是这个车。但我并不是建议大家都买大Truck,这有经济的问题,另外一般的车库放不下大Truck。# Y. r3 B, V) n% ~' f4 a' H
总之,一量结实的车,加上小心驾驶,才是最安全的,但有多的情况下事故是无法避免的(例如停下等右转时被人追尾,我有两个朋友发生此事,一量是小轿车,司机脖子受轻伤,另一量是VAN,就连坐在副驾驶的孕妇都没事,该朋友说,幸好是较重的VAN,否则被撞出去,后果不堪设想)。
