14 Days ago Susan and I were sitting at a light on Broadway and our car was struck from behind crushing the passenger side rear panel.
Fortunately we were not injured....at all...nothing. In fact, Susan turned to me and said, "What was that?" And I responded that someone just hit us from behind.
No injuries, no whiplash...How is that possible?
The only thing that I care about when buying a car is the safety features..Not the color of the car or the seats or the radio... Only safety. And unlike most people, I am willing to pay to add ALL the safety features to the car including the self stopping feature.
So what features prevented us from being hurt?
1. Surround the car cameras and radar
2. Pre-tensioning seatbelts that automatically tighten when the car senses an impending crash
3. A headrest that automatically extends 5 inches to meet the back of the head to prevent whiplash
I implore you to pay attention to safety features on a new car and be willing to add these features if the car you want does not have them.
This is like selecting a really good physician or dentist to take care of you...It will probably save your life somewhere down the road.
