Hare Chevrolet Appreciates Vehicle Safety Laws

May 10, 2011 - PRLog -- The best part is that you can feel safe in your car, because Hare Chevrolet has top safety vehicles in reach for everyone. More than six times as many drivers are on the road now compared to 1925. Surprisingly, the annual motor-vehicle death rate has decreased from 18 accidents per 100 million vehicles traveled to nearly 1.7 per 100 million.

In the 20th century, more than 3 million people were killed in auto accidents. In 1966, the U.S. enacted the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act to ensure the lives of the millions of people driving nationwide.  It states that the federal government is allowed to set and administer new safety standards for motor vehicles and road safety.

Automakers now build their vehicles with certain safety requirements to ensure the the safest family car for their customers. Air bags and seat belts have been intact for a few decades now, with the local police enforcing the safety laws. Another handy safety feature that most new Hare Chevrolet vehicles carry is OnStar; immediate help if a driver gets into a car accident. Also, mandatory speed limits are placed in all areas; either in a school zone, neighborhood or interstate.

Now, being 50 years since safety requirements were enforced, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) placed a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air against a 2009 Chevy Malibu. As expected, vehicles now-a-days are MUCH better than vehicles built some-50 years ago. Hare Chevrolet, especially, takes this news in great appreciation. Hare is honored to know that our customers are receiving exceptional vehicles today and look forward to the future.
