Seat Belts Top Motoring Safety Poll

Date: 13th April 2006 Author: Tyrepress Editors Comments: 0

The seat belt has been named the most important innovation in car safety of the past 50 years in a new poll from Avon Tyres. The much maligned speed camera was voted the 10th. One of the first acronyms to appear on our cars, ABS, or Anti-lock Braking System, came second in Avon’s survey to find the safety innovation that has had the most impact. Airbags, Cats Eyes and Crumple Zones rounded off the top five. Despite much criticism and an explosion in their usage (there are now roughly 6000) speed cameras were named as the most important innovation by 2 per cent of motorists. Avon Tyres surveyed more than 1,100 motorists.

Malcolm Jones, product planning manager for the Avon Tyres brand commented: “The average car may be significantly faster since seatbelts became compulsory, but manufacturers are forever pushing the boundaries to deliver safer cars. In 10 years time, we’ll all be talking about pop-up bonnets, artificial intelligent braking systems and cars that can see around corners.”
