Also, accident investigations discovered that victims of the rear-end…

et al, 2012). However, there is equally compelling evidence to support that conversing on a hands-free device equally degrades safe-driving ability and increases the risk of collision (Strayer et al, 2006). Not all phone conversations are…

It was located behind the rear axle, instead of above it. This was initially done in an effort to create more trunk space. The problem with this design, which later became evident, was that it made the Pinto more vulnerable during rear-end collision. This vulnerability was enhanced by other features of the car such protruding bolts from nearby brackets. The gas tank and the rear axle were separated by only inches. There were also bolts that were positioned on the rear differential in a…

For the study, researchers examined the crash data from in-vehicle event recorders for collisions that involved drivers between the ages of 16 and 19-years-old. They looked at 6,842 videos, 1,691 of which met their inclusion criteria. The researchers studied the videos for the six seconds leading up to an accident, and then coded them for analysis…

Current seat designs prevent serious injury in the event of a collision; in this case it protects from a rear-end collision by supporting your back and spine from the forces imparted on the body during rapid deceleration or acceleration. Next, adjust the distance of the seat to the controls to a comfortable position. Many driving schools…

that could be done as the tooling process had already began. Engineers discovered it due to the placement of the gas tank between the rear differential and the rear bumper; this would leave it vulnerable to damage during a rear end collision. Repeatedly from collisions the tank would rupture and expose gas which would cause the Pinto to go up in flames. If hit in rear at speeds of 40 miles per hour or above, the gas tank would rupture, doors would jam shut. Leaving anyone inside the vehicle…
