them safe in a crash, but they\u2019re designed to complement seatbelts. When an airbag deploys, it can cause significant injuries if a seatbelt isn\u2019t securing the passenger. Seatbelts keep you in the proper position, allowing the airbag to work as intended. Relying solely on airbags can lead to a false sense of security and greater injury risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bigger_Vehicles_Are_Always_Safer\"><\/span><strong>Bigger Vehicles Are Always Safer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/GMC-Canyon-AT4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30876\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/GMC-Canyon-AT4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/GMC-Canyon-AT4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/GMC-Canyon-AT4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The notion that larger vehicles are inherently safer isn\u2019t always true. While a bigger vehicle may seem more protective due to its size, smaller cars often have better crash test ratings because of superior safety designs.

On loose surfaces like gravel or snow, ABS may actually take longer to stop the vehicle. The primary advantage of ABS is maintaining steering control during emergency stops.

While hands-free systems keep your hands on the wheel, they don\u2019t eliminate mental distraction. Conversations can still divert your focus from the road, leading to slower reaction times.

On flat highways, it may help, but on uneven terrain, cruise control can cause the engine to overwork on inclines, wasting fuel.

Airbags are just one part of a vehicle&#8217;s safety system, and their effectiveness depends on the overall design of the car. Poorly positioned or overly relied-upon airbags can even cause injury.
