Tell NHTSA: Consider People Walking in Vehicle Rating System!
Did you know that the U.S. vehicle safety rating system doesn’t consider people outside the vehicle?
Tell the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) you want a vehicle rating system that accurately reflects the dangers vehicles pose to pedestrians, bikers, and others outside the vehicle.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s NHTSA is set to modify its vehicle safety rating system.
But with roads designed to favor cars and the mushrooming size of megacars – SUVs and passenger trucks – it’s no surprise traffic fatalities are on the rise among drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists.
Submit this model comment, created by Salud America! and informed by Families for Safe Streets, to tell them to consider people outside the vehicle in vehicle safety ratings.
