Every year, the Insurance Institute for Highway safety www.iihs.org makes its Top Safety Picks for vehicles. The Top Safety Picks for 2008 are shown below. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety conducts front and side crashes at high speeds as well as evaluating seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impacts.
The first requirement for a vehicle to become a Top Safety Pick is that the vehicle must earn good ratings in all three Institute tests. In addition, winning vehicles must also offer electronic stability control. This requirement is based on Institute research indicating that electronic stability control significantly reduces crash risk, especially the risk of fatal single-vehicle crashes, by helping drivers maintain control of their vehicles during emergency maneuvers.
