What is the primary (read as most important and/or most effective) safety system in a modern car? Consider ABS, airbacks, AWD, traction control, and others of course. Only 1 right answer, of course.

That said, most modern cars have piss poor primary safety systems. :) -- ~/Garth |"I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie.

When that part is in the least bit dysfunctional, there's no newfangled part that can be added to the vehicle that would guarantee safety. >What is the primary (read as most important and/or most effective) >safety system in a modern car? > >Consider ABS, airbacks, AWD, traction control, and others of course. > >Only 1 right answer, of course.

I still say the most important safety *device* in a car is seatbelts. The rest help avoid an accident but contribute a fraction to safety of what seatbelts do to save life in the final analysis.

Agreed, although I am thankful (knock on wood) I haven't had to utilize my seat belts. Guess that's what I get for operating vehicles where an alert, competent driver is a standard feature. Interesting how that equipment moves so easily from vehicle to vehicle. :-) -- Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. - Admiral Hyman Rickover, U.S. Navy spamTHIS...@yahoo.com: > What is the primary (read as most important and/or most effective) > safety system in a modern car? > > Consider ABS, airbacks, AWD, traction control, and others of course. > > Only 1 right answer, of course.
