Samenvatting
Bad shock absorbers influence driving behaviour. If the German data- one out of 4 cars has one or more faulty shock absorbers- are applicable for the Netherlands the assumption that bad shock absorbers contribute to traffic un- safety is not unreasonable. To determine whether defective shock absorbers greatly influence traffic safety in the therlands two studies are recommended the first on the quality of shock absorbers in Dutch cars and the second on the quality of shock absorbers of cars involved in accidents.
