When the argument between the German and American car is set on the table, the matters seem to
never come to an ending. That is because the debate is almost impossible to come out with a winner or
loser. In many cases, the debate goes out squarely with each country weighing out almost similar. Car
enthusiasts are never satisfied with that and will do anything to keep the argument going.
To begin with, the arguments need to first have debating points. These are factors or features that come
with individual models offered by both countries. They included Speed, powertrain specs, interior
luxury, exterior body designs, cargo space, fuel efficiency, and last but not least safety.
However, in this context with is pinned on the safety aspect. There have been numerous claims out here
that German cars beat American cars in terms of safety hands down. Is it the reality?
Read on as you get to know more about the safety comparison between German and American cars.
What does car safety entail?
Driving a car is never as seamless and safe as it looks. The possibility of accidents and other breakdowns
is usually high. Car safety is a feature that comes incorporated into vehicles of whichever kind that helps
reduce and minimize accident risks and their consequences.
It is by default that all vehicles coming fresh out of the factory doors to comes equipped with safety
features. Before being public to potential customers, cars must undergo a vigorous crash test. The test is
so important since the carmaker uses it to evaluate different possibilities and outcomes in case of a real
accident.
German cars’ safety.
German is among one the best automobile producers on the globe. The country boasts several leading
and giant car makers such as Mercedes Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, and BMW. German is usually
considered home to the world’s best luxury cars. At the same time, most of its models also come
equipped with top-notch safety features.
What makes German Cars safer?
Material use and unique engineering.
The material used to make up the suspension, axle and other core parts in German cars are always
unique. The uniqueness of the materials ensures their rigidity thereby having more grip on the roads.
The material design is also another factor that enables German cars to handle smoothly even at top
speeds. The suspension is also made light for most German cars since the stiff suspension is not
favorable with harsh terrain.
Use of European roads in design
German cars are strictly made about the nature of moist European roads. European roads are always
narrow and winding thus the car must be able to drive through without causing unnecessary issues.
Unlike European roads, the American roads are more straight and wide.
What are some of the safety features?
Airbags
Airbags have been in existence for quite some time now. It was until the early 2000S that the safety
feature was made necessary and compulsory by many carmakers. Airbags are a great deal and have
proven to save lots of lives.
They work by inflating in milliseconds after a crash thereby cushioning the passengers from any hard
objects within the car. Unfortunately, the same airbags have received backlashes from car experts since
some are usually responsible for most deaths during an accident.
Seatbelt.
Seat belts were not in existence until 1948 when they became available with numerous automobiles.
They work by locking an individual on a seat so that he/she does not fly around during a collision.
Antilock brake system
This system works by unlocking the wheels of a car that might be not rotating completely when one
brakes in an emergency. That helps in the prevention of skidding when braking hence being able to have
stable control over the car.
Traction control
Similar to the ABS above, the traction control works by use of sensors that detect the speeds of the
wheel versus the actual car's speed. When driving on rough terrain or difficult terrain such as on ice, the
system helps you drive smoothly without flaws.
Brake assist
This is a feature within cars that enables you to brake suddenly in an emergency event. The system
works by detecting a press on the brake pedal that is beyond the normal braking threshold. Once
signaled, the feature applies full force to the brakes assuming it is an emergency.
Conclusion.
German cars are the best when it comes to road safety. However, you must not be blinded by that fact.
A car being named "safe" won’t make it immune to accidents. You must consider normal driving habits
since you are the one behind the wheels.
Also, the “safest’’ car is never immune to breakdowns. That is why we are introducing to you an
extended warranty. This is extra protection your car needs just in case your factory warranty is over.
