If you watched last weekend’s Daytona 500, you’ll know this NASCAR race was full of crashes. In fact, a particularly unfortunate crash toward the end of the race ended up robbing the race leader of the win. However, have you ever wondered how much it costs to crash a NASCAR car? A USA Today report …

On average, cars are safer than they ever have been. Thanks to standard safety features and stricter safety standards, you are more likely to survive a car crash without injury. However, a new study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that women still have a greater risk of injury than men. After determining …

Whether your dream car is a Mazda Miata or a Lamborghini Diablo SV, we’re all suckers for a good deal. However, even with an ultra-expensive Lamborghini, going the cheaper route can produce some serious problems. That is exactly what happened to John Temerian, owner of Curated, a vintage supercar dealership in Miami. After sinking his …

Obviously, the faster you drive, the less safe you’ll be if you crash. This is an easy concept to understand. Think about SUVs. The faster you go, the easier it is to roll them over. These days car manufacturers go to extreme lengths to make sure cars are safer, but most importantly, to make sure …

An accident is a very surreal experience. Your heart starts pumping fast, your nerves are elevated, and your mind wants to race at the same time that things seem to go into slow motion. But what is surprising to me is how many people handle car accidents poorly afterward.  Take care of the important stuff …

Hypercar manufacturers often produce cars in minimal numbers. As a result, they can’t send dozens of cars to be crash-tested. To get around this issue, Koenigsegg came up with an ingenious way to complete all of its certifications with essentially one car. More specifically, we’re looking at the crash testing for the Koenigsegg Regera, a …

Before a new vehicle can receive any crash certification, it must be crashed endlessly from almost every angle imaginable. The result of these tests then determines the safety rating awarded. However, crash test dummies are perhaps the most integral part of these experiments. That’s because these dummies are filled with sensors and can record data …

Every second counts for the occupants of an automobile collision. The quicker emergency personnel can reach them and begin treatment, the higher the survivability odds are. So, emergency crews will often test themselves by working on donated or scrap vehicles. They hope the tests will improve their processes and help them gain experience with equipment or …

If you have ever driven an SUV, then you probably know the feeling of having all of that metal and plastic surrounding you as well as all of the heft that comes with that added material. You probably let out a sigh of relief, thinking that all is well in the world because if anything …

As long as people think for themselves, there will always be differences of opinions. One person may think a Dodge Challenger Hellcat is beautiful, while the person standing next to them may think that the same car is an oversized relic that makes them vomit a little bit. But, what can not be argued are …

On the surface, car crashes may seem pretty simple. You put a crash dummy in the seats and head toward a wall. We wish things were that simple, but in reality, car crash tests are much more complicated with the use of physics and biology to determine impacts and injuries.  How Car Crash Tests Work  …
