What would your fleet’s safety look like with even just a 10% reduction in rear-end collisions? Intellistop can drastically increase eye lead time. According to NHTSA, just 1 additional second of reaction time can reduce rear-end collisions by up to 90%. NHTSA studies also have shown that pulsing brake lamps can give trailing drivers that additional second. #intellistopfacts #staysafeouthere #nhtsastats #nhtsastatistics #roadwaysafety #reduceaccidents

Starting September 2027, all new vehicles sold in the U.S. must include rear seat belt alarms, while stricter front seat belt warning rules will take effect by September 2026. The alarms will provide both visual and audible alerts, aiming to boost seat belt usage and reduce fatalities. NHTSA projects the changes will save at least 50 lives annually. Despite progress in seat belt use, rear passengers lag behind at 81.7% compared to 91.6% for front-seat occupants. #SafetyFirst #RoadSafety

Wearing a seat belt has always been the single most effective way to reduce the risk of fatality and serious injury in a crash. Rear seat passengers consistently lag behind front seat occupants in seat belt usage, with 2022 data showing 91.6% compliance for front seats compared to 81.7% for rear seats. Today the NHTSA unveiled a new rule to enhance seat belt use and save lives. This welcome update to FMVSS No. 208 mandates rear seat belt warning systems and enhances front seat belt warnings for most passenger vehicles up to 10,000 lbs. Once fully implemented, in 2026 & 2027 it's set to prevent over 500 injuries and save about 50 lives annually. Every step we take to prioritize safety paves the way for safer journeys ahead.

NHTSA Pedestrian Head Protection Rule - https://lnkd.in/eutNHb6u A proposed new regulation for the design of light passenger vehicles to better protect pedestrians (and cyclists and motorcyclists) is open for comment through November 18, 2024. The goal is to make some kinds of impacts between people and vehicles less likely to cause death or serious injury (those at less than 25 mph). Similar rules are already in place in Europe and Asia. Stylistic choices in more recent vehicle designs (like more blunt, vertical, and taller front ends) are partly to blame for the increases in pedestrian fatality rates in the US. The rule is expected to prevent 67 fatalities annually once implemented.

🚗💥 Here's how we test for pedestrian protection... It looks harsh, but it's vital in determining the more severe parts of a vehicle's front-end design. Each ANCAP safety rating assesses how the vehicle physically protects pedestrians and cyclists in a crash and also how the vehicle can actively prevent a crash through collision-avoidance technology.
