Vehicle Safety Standards are regulations set by governments to ensure that all vehicles meet specific safety requirements. These standards cover various aspects, including crashworthiness, braking systems, and seatbelt effectiveness. They aim to protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians by minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries. Organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States develop and enforce these standards. Manufacturers must comply with these regulations before their vehicles can be sold. Regular updates to these standards help incorporate new technologies and address emerging safety concerns, ensuring ongoing improvements in vehicle safety.
