Euro NCAP, responsible for car safety ratings, has moved the safety standards forwards for cars.
From next year, all cars will have to be equipped with an electronic anti-skid programme.
Anti-skid systems are variously known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC); Electronic Stability Programme (ESP); Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA); and so on. Whatever the acronym, the programme electronically helps control the car should it be involved in a skid.
Euro NCAP’s new scheme will see the introduction of a new five-star single overall vehicle safety rating.
This will replace the current star ratings in use since 1997.
Euro NCAP says the new star rating will provide the simplest and clearest advice to car buyers about a vehicle’s overall safety performance.
The overall rating will be composed from scores achieved in four areas of assessment:
