The Ten Most Dangerous Vehicles Found On The Streets Of The United States

Millions of new vehicles are sold each year around the world.  People spend their hard earned money on vehicles to get them from point A to point B safely and reliably while others pick out models to have fun in.

No matter the reason why a vehicle is purchased customers trust in designers and manufacturers to supply them with a safe vehicle that will protect them in case of an accident.  Unfortunately that’s not always the case and with 10 million vehicle accidents happening each year around the world the body count is piling up.  Out of those 10 million accidents 1.5 million people have lost their lives.  The accident to death ratio does fluctuate from year to year and automakers seem to be doing little about it.  Vehicles are sold with less than standard crash ratings or with faulty equipment.  This ultimately leads to accidents and loss of life.

The blame can’t just be placed on the automakers as some of the accidents today are caused by inexperienced or irresponsible drivers.  Combine faulty equipment with a young driver and you get yourself one dangerous situation.  Most of the vehicles driven by these young drivers are economy cars that are built to save the manufacturer and the customer money.  Doesn’t sound like the best combination does it?

There are 10 vehicles that are considered to be the deadliest on the roadways of the United States.  These findings are based on the number of accidents sold versus the number of people that died in those accidents.  If you drive one of the vehicles on this list it might be time to think of changing as soon as you can before it’s too late.

10.  Dodge Nitro

This box on wheels always looked like it would be pretty safe but the 2 wheel drive Dodge Nitro has earned itself a place on our list.  51 people out of 1 million crashes involving a Nitro lost their lives.  There isn’t anything really wrong with the Nitro and it did rank well in crash ratings.  Many organizations claim that the less than adequate size of the driver’s area is what leads to the most deaths and injuries.
