     >>> How Safe Is Your Car?

Euro NCAP provides consumers with independent information about a car's safety. This complements all the other information available to consumers wishing to buy a new car. The ratings also provide an incentive to manufacturers to continually strive to improve protection. Euro NCAP has an important influence in improving road safety. Independent research has shown that improvements in vehicle safety have been responsible for the greatest reduction in road accident casualties over the last ten years.

There are many other websites offering advice on how safe (or unsafe!) your car might be. Here are some examples:
