The NHTSA Website

February 3, 2011

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is a valuable national organization dedicated to keeping the public informed about all things related to traffic safety - from product recalls to safe driving tips and more. Their website is easy to locate - and is so chocked full of interesting and timely information that I would recommend you make it a 'favorite' site to visit on a regular basis if you are interested in 18 wheeler accidents, trucking or motor vehicle safety.

Consider some of the following topics recently covered by the NHTSA.

There is continued concern about 15 passenger van accidents. They have been involved in a number of recent and high profile personal injury and wrongful death fatality accidents that have called passenger vulnerability into question.

In addition, the site offers regular reminders of safe driving habits for all weather conditions.

Too, you may find out more quickly about a vehicle recall on this site instead of waiting for notification by mail. In fact, the website will explain how to get these types of notifications sent directly to your email or phone.

And if you are interested in the latest findings of annual vehicle crash tests - and which vehicles have been deemed the safest because of them - all of this data is available at this site.

Finally, as new information on a wealth of topics becomes available - older articles are saved and can be accessed through the search menu.
