Vehicle technology has gone up by leaps and bounds these past decades.
Not only are speed records constantly falling by the wayside, ever classier and more sophisticated cars are being manufactured every year by the biggest and best manufacturers in the world.
But more than the speed, acceleration and aerodynamic features of many top of the line vehicles, it is the improvements in the safety department that really set good cars apart from the middling ones.
Because driving is such as potentially dangerous activity, the safety features of your car are some of the biggest considerations that you should think about when scouting for your next vehicle.
And when you are looking for your next driving delight, watch out for these features that you shouldn't be without: -Airbags: In spite of all the criticisms, the controversies and the color surrounding the installation of airbags, this device, together with the seatbelt has probably saved more lives than any other safety contraption installed in vehicles ever.
So when you are scouting for your next vehicle buy, look for cars with the best airbag technology.
Many cars these days have airbag deploying mechanisms both on the side and in front, and airbag technology can now detect the height, weight and position of passengers.
-Stability Control: This is one of the most important pieces of technology especially for those who love driving in spite of rainy weather.
It detects the direction the car is headed against where it is actually going.
On slippery roads where stability is key, this may just be a lifesaver because of its ability to counteract skidding, sliding and spinning.
-Lane Departure Warning: One of the most accident prone road activities would involve the changing of lanes.
A lot of us do it carelessly without really meaning to.
And some of us get into accidents because of blind spots or because we have fallen asleep in our seats.
Good thing for this warning that alerts the driver of sudden lane changes.
Now at least, you know that technology has your back.
