People think seatbelts are a panacea, whereas as most people can't brake hard enough or know how much to swerve to avoid an accident, or even tighten seatbelts properly, so car manufacturers have made Emergency Braking programmes, Stability Control programmes, DSC/ESP, etc, Seatbelt Pretensioners. Also realising that seatbelts left a lot to be desired, they've come up with front and side airbags. Now if govt's were truly concerned about your safety they would mandate this technology and others on all new cars!

Ford Mustang scores concerning 2 star safety rating | ANCAP

Unfortunately they don't, hence the Mustang only got a 2 star ANCAP rating.

Mustang has all those devices, they just aren’t very well implemented - airbags, abs and esc are all mandatory with current ADR’s . The design of the vehicle and how they are integrated is up to the OEM.

Ahh so a fig leaf for road safety, this makes me sick as a covid patient, thread back on track.[biggrin]

I really don't know, but it could open up a whole new world for him Post-Covid.

Reports from around the world seem to indicate COVID will be with us for some time. We may have to learn to live with it, rather than eliminate it. A vaccine is the best chance for the world to get back to something resembling normal , as it did after the Spanish flu. Some Nations have started using vaccines that have not gone through the exhaustive process that normally happens with these . Side effects are unknown, but the first vaccine to be proven effective has the potential to be a massive money spinner . The question is, will the first effective vaccine be shared with the world. ?
