Some people are aficionados of classic cars. Your grandpa can probably tell you about every gear and every knob in the first car he ever drove; maintaining his car probably made him feel as cool as driving it did. A lot of young people have never known the feeling of sliding across an expansive leather bench seat or learning to drive a car with a manual transmission. For them, the cars in old or nostalgic movies like Grease or A Bronx Tale look downright bizarre. Your elders can tell you about the fun you missed by growing up in the age of lane assist, electric charging ports, and ubiquitous airbags, but you are much safer in a motor vehicle than previous generations were. Automotive technology has evolved to make cars safer as well as more energy efficient. Yes, the new bells and whistles that come standard in recent models of cars can help prevent collisions, but the more unassuming features, the ones you take for granted, can stop a fender bender from causing severe injury. If you have been injured in a car accident even though your car has all the up-to-date safety features, contact a Houma car accident lawyer.
The Humble Headrest
Everyone knows that seatbelts save lives; they have prevented more car accident deaths than any other automobile safety feature. The headrest does not get nearly as much appreciation as it deserves, though. Yes, the headrest makes it more comfortable to take a nap in your reclining seat while waiting for a family member to finish an errand, but it also protects you in a car accident. Before cars had headrests, whiplash injury resulting from rear-end collisions was more severe. Headrests can also stop projectiles from the back seat from hitting you in the head if your car stops suddenly.
The Plastic Steering Column With a Big, Round Steering Wheel
The steering wheel is one of the least interesting parts of your car; unless you are old enough to join the AARP, steering wheels probably have not changed much in your entire driving career. This is because today’s steering wheels provide optimal safety; the airbag inside is just the icing on the cake. The plastic material of the steering column is just soft enough not to cause severe injury in a collision; consider that, before the 1970s, steering columns were made of metal, and sometimes they even had decorative protruding pieces. There was even a brief fad in the 1960s where cars had multiple little knobs instead of one steering wheel, making them resemble primitive video game controllers.
Your Car’s Collapsable Zone
Most cars have an empty metal box at the front and the back; the size of these varies according to the model of the car. They may seem useless, but this is your car’s collapsable zone; without it, car riders would be as vulnerable in a collision as motorcyclists.
