How to Choose the Safest Car for Your Money

When it comes to cars, there is no model that is completely safe. However, if you're a woman, and particularly if you are a mom, chances are you are looking for the safest option around. Here's how to go about finding it. First, look at the crash test data for the car in question. This can be obtained from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, where you can find not only this data, but also information about recalls and more. On the IIHS website, you can also find detailed information on frontal crash test results, as well as side impact, and information on injury, theft and loss and fatalities by car. All of which makes buying a safe car a whole lot easier! Even speaking to your insurance company may help you to select a safer model, as they generally base premiums on some of this data.
