Abstract

Due to rising fuel prices, the production of small cars have increased all over the world. Small cars give more severe injuries than big cars. There is, however, an ambition among car manufacturers to make safer cars. This study shows that small cars have a higher injury frequency than big cars, but the difference decreases when a small car is compared with a big old one.
