My 16-yer-old got her driver’s license last week. Yikes! For any of you parents out there who may be in the same boat, or anyone who is thinking about buying a car for themselves, check out the National Highway Safety website. There is so much important information here, everyone who drives should read it. For actual crash test ratings, click here. Don’t buy a new or used car without knowing what the crash test ratings are. You might be surprised to find out your dream car has high rollover rates or poor driver’s side crash test ratings.
My Mom left our daughter her used car, which is 10 years old but in in great condition. The only problem is that it does not have good crash test ratings on the driver’s side of the car. Bummer. It looks like we’ll be shopping for a safer used car this weekend.
