This may mean getting those truck brake repairs done. It is also important to pick out the right vehicle for your family in the first place. You want a vehicle that will keep you all safe in the case of a crash. Generally, people turn to safety ratings to determine if a vehicle is safe or not. However, there is more to the story. In this video, you will learn why you shouldn’t rely solely on safety ratings.

However, you may have to look at a van depending on the size of your family. There are plenty of good vans out there. The issue with the safety tests lies in who they are testing the vehicle for. For some reason, most crash dummies are made to represent adult males. This means that women and children get left out of the equation. This is why these tests can be inaccurate. Obviously, women and children will react very differently to a crash then will men.
