Disclaimer

While active safety features such as ESC and TPMS help avoid adverse situations on the road, and passive safety features such as airbags and seatbelts help minimise the impact to the occupants, the foremost priority of any and every driver should be to drive responsibly, safely, and abide to the laws of the land. Furthermore, the occupants should adhere to all safety norms such as using seatbelts on all the seats, whether at the front or rear, as well as using child seats for any children travelling in the vehicle, in order to let the safety features protect them in case of a mishap. No matter how safe a car has been proven to be, there are chances of major injuries or even fatalities if all the necessary precautions are not taken by the occupants.
