You'll travel safer when you avoid cars made before 2014
With the advancement of technology, several security features have been developed and applied in various areas. One of them was on the market automotive, since it is a branch that deals directly with lives, since a failure can mean the death of a vehicle occupant.
Equipment such as an Airbag and an ABS brake system have become essential to ensure the safety of a car, as they demonstrated a lot of efficiency, raising the safety levels of the models that had them.
Why not opt for models manufactured before 2014?

So, to ensure safety and avoid taking risks, the ideal is to opt for models manufactured from 2014 onwards.
The importance of Airbag and ABS brake
In order to avoid accidents, the ABS brake has an electronic controller that detects the acceleration of the wheels. If they present a deceleration different from the model standards, the hydraulic valve present in the brake is activated, making the wheel turn more easily. This gives the driver more control over the vehicle.
in relation to Air bag, in the event of an accident, it acts to reduce damage, as an air bag is ejected, preventing people in the car from suffering serious injuries.
