The answer is "no" unless you ask... Group: Members Posts: 1,184 Joined: 21-November 15 From: White Plains New York Member No.: 19,387 Region Association: North East States |
I think his first car should be more substantial... Safety features like air bags, ABS and crumple zones are there for a reason and that reason is to protect our kids.
With that said, I wish I had a 914 as a young man, but maybe a little older than 16. |

I think his first car should be more substantial... Safety features like air bags, ABS and crumple zones are there for a reason and that reason is to protect our kids. With that said, I wish I had a 914 as a young man, but maybe a little older than 16. 914's actually have very good crumple zones. Well ahead of their time for 1969. Air Bags are a secondary device. If you properly wear a seat belt, the driver and passenger frontal air bag is redundant device and is actually a bit of a liability. Not sure you believe that? Google Takata air bags and look into the development history of air bags. ABS didn't substantially reduce accident rates as it was predicted to do. Stability control was then forced to be implemented via the FMVSS 126 regulatory standard in 2012. Still didn't reduce accident rates as much as was predicted but dramatically helped reduce SUV and other high CG vehicle roll over accidents. Automatic Emergency Braking is on the verge of being the next thing that gets forced implementation. Each is progression upon the prior but none will completely prevent accidents. What will help your kids is to teach them to drive (i.e. car control skills) and most importantly - look way ahead of where they are at; see what the big picture is, see the cars well ahead of them and what they are doing. All racers know this as truth, - you go where you look. Lack of situational awareness is what leads to many accidents. |
