Improving the Safety of Car Transport in America

American car transport will be happy to hear that it could soon be mandatory for all heavy-duty highway vehicle transport on the roads of the United States to use stability control systems. The National Transportation Safety Board was in session this week and it was told by Nathaniel Beuse, director of crash avoidance standards at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, that the agency expects to complete its studies on the possible benefits of making stability control technology on the auto transportation vehicles of the United States of America mandatory equipment by the end of 2010. Great news for car movers conducting car shipping duties on the transport roads of continental America and according to many transport professionals a definite safety improvement.

The studies are being conducted in order to help verify the National Transportation Safety Board's belief that mandatory use of stability control systems in the transport vehicles of America could prevent as many as 3,500 rollover-related accidents and save the lives of as many as 100 Americans in the years ahead in the century of the environment. In fact, recent research conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the University of Michigan indicates that the use of stability control systems in the vehicle transport of America could save as many as 106 American lives and 4,400 injuries, according to sources. They also indicate that while transport vehicle rollovers are only present in about 13 percent of heavy-duty transport vehicle fatal accidents on the roads of America, that rollovers account for about 50 percent of truck-occupant fatalities, and stability control systems could help in this area of safety.
