Safer vehicles

Some vehicles are safer than others.

The engineering and design of a vehicle and whether it has safety features play a vital part in both reducing the chances of a crash and protecting people from harm if they are in one.

The average age of a New Zealand car is currently 13 years old. Getting more people into safer vehicles will significantly improve our safety.

Children’s car seats have a reputation for being difficult to understand and install, but this doesn’t have to be the case.
