Abstract

The distributions of injuries occurring to drivers of recent model year cars involved in highway crashes are compared with the injury rates predicted by the NCAP crash test results. In general, injury rates predicted by NCAP crash test results are found to bear little resemblance to those observed in real world highway crashes.
