  • NHSTA is so stupid, theres very little sense in making fully front impact crash tests. Look a IIHS crash tests, they make the crash tests on the left side of the car, just like in real life crashes.

  • @HaguSlayer It does help determine the really safe cars from the average ones. I think before when they used frontal-offset like more than half the cars were getting the highest rating (the IIHS ones are still like that), so they changed it. Also, note the most accurate scenario would be a frontal offset with the wall also coming toward the car @ ~30mph. >:) I doubt many cars would get good marks on that one.

  • @HaguSlayer The IIHS determines structural rigidity. The NHTSA determines how the dummy actually does in a crash. The IIHS's test has a deformable barrier, while the NHTSA has a rigid one that makes the car stop more suddenly and thus has a higher chance of injury. Both tests are important.

  • also did well in the iihs front and side tests
