	When an accident is imminent, various passive safety systems work together to minimize damage to those involved. Much research has been done using [[Crash test dummy\|crash test dummies]] to make modern cars safer than ever. Recently, attention has also been given to cars' design regarding the [[Pedestrian Safety Through Vehicle Design\|safety of pedestrians in car-pedestrian collisions]]. Controversial proposals in Europe would require cars sold there to have a minimum/maximum hood height. This has caused automakers to complain that the requirements will restrict their design choices, resulting in ugly cars. Others have pointed out that a notable percentage of pedestrians in these accidents are drunk. From [[2006]] the use of ''"[[bull bar]]s"'' (known as ''"roo bars"'' in Australia), in fashion on [[Four wheel drive\|4x4]]s and [[SUVs]] will be illegal.

	Most areas in the United States allow teenagers the right to drive at the age of 16. This age ranges in other countries but all teen drivers are relatively inexperienced compared to other drivers. This lack of experience leads to an increased risk of accidents among this demographic.

	When pregnant, women should continue to use seatbelts and airbags properly. A University of Michigan study found that "unrestrained or improperly restrained pregnant women are 5.7 times more likely to have an adverse fetal outcome than properly restrained pregnant women" [http://www.dps.state.mn.us/trafsafe/beltsairbags/pregnacy.htm]. If seatbelts are not long enough, extensions are available from the car manufacturer or an aftermarket supplier.		When pregnant, women should continue to use seatbelts and airbags properly.
