Proper Mirror Setting Eliminates Blindspots ...How does the NHTSA choose vehicles to rate? If NHTSA didn't rate my vehicle, how do I know it's safe?
A: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Each year, NHTSA rates a sample of new vehicles that are
predicted to have high sales volume, those that have been
structurally redesigned, or those with improved safety
equipment. Tested vehicles are purchased from dealerships
across the country; the vehicles are not supplied directly to
NHTSA by the manufacturer, a common misperception.
For the 2011 model year, NHTSA estimates 60 percent of the
light vehicle fleet will be rated. Though NHTSA is unable to
rate every car, all vehicles sold in the U.S. must meet Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

FAQs
Vehicle Accidents
- I was coming out of the grocery store and noticed a dent and scratches that weren't there before I went into the store. Someone hit my car and didn't leave any information about their insurance or contact information. What can I do?
- I've been hearing about diminished value on vehicles that have been in a collision, I asked my insurance company about diminished value and they said there was not really such a thing as diminished value. Is this true?
- Is the alcohol level allowed for teen driver's the same as the level allowed for adult driver's before being considered driving under the influence?
