This blog is not affiliated with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in any way, shape, or form. Information is taken from the publicly viewable NHTSA Database. Crash tests posted on this blog were conducted between May 21, 1979 and August 17, 1989 at a speed of 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour) into a solid wall with dummies restrained by the vehicle safety belt system. Tests were conducted on the model year vehicle listed in the post and may or may not be accurate for a differing model year. Injury measures are likely accurate to a plus or minus 2% range - for example, a 26% risk of injury is likely in the 24-28% range. The five star system used for 2010 and earlier crash tests is used.

Injury risk:
10% or less - 5 star rating
11% - 20% - 4 star rating
21% - 35% - 3 star rating
36% - 45% - 2 star rating
46% or more - 1 star rating

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, and best wishes for safe travels and good times on this December 25th.

It's also my 21st birthday today! 

That's all for today's crash test postings. All tests conducted in or before February 1985 are posted. Postings will resume on Thursday, December 26, 2013.

To my knowledge, there are 167 tests posted so far, with 153 to go.

Update, 10:52 am (or 8:52 am on Pacific time) - More tests will be posted today! Not many, probably, it being Christmas and all, but I enjoy this too much to force myself to take a break.
