FINAL ASSIGNMENT WRITING II : CARS

THE BIGGER THE CAR, THE SAFER YOU ARE

Big cars become safer than small cars for two reasons. The first reason is it was a fact of physics that big car has heavier mass than small car. The small car has lighter mass which is generally not as safe as larger or big car. The mass of cars are very affecting how the cars perform on the road. The heavier the car the more stable it would move. Large vehicles that belong to big cars have longer hoods and bigger crush zones. It gives them an advantage in frontal crashes. Car’s hoods basically use to protect the car from any hit from outside and keep the passenger’s safe. The bigger hood it has, the bigger crush zone it would be. A small car that has little hood cannot give the passenger big crash zone. It would be more dangerous if incident happen rather than bigger cars. According to the 2011 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) figures, fatalities per million registered vehicles decreased 55 percent for the mini car category and 47 percent for the small car category. There was a 51 percent decrease in fatalities for midsize cars and 45 percent for large sedans.The second reason is the vehicles weight of big car its resistance to rolling over better than small car. While small cars don't roll over easily, they lack weight and, until recently, were less likely to have advanced safety features like electronic stability control (ESC) or full side airbags. So, having a big car is a better choice to guarantee your safety than small car.
