AVTOVAZ has recently started production of simplified versions of LADA Granta without ABS systems and airbags. UAZ also wants to start producing the same cars. Obviously, the safety level of such machines will be low. Is it possible to increase it and at what cost? The portal “AvtoVzglyad” tells about it.
The lack of airbags in the car is difficult to compensate, but still possible. To do this, it would be nice to put four-point seat belts in the car, which are used in motorsport. They repair a person’s body much more reliably than ordinary ones. And if they are properly tightened, in the event of a collision, the body will be firmly fixed, practically reducing the likelihood of a head or chest collision with the steering column. But it is precisely because of this that the most serious injuries occur, which even lead to death.
In this case, make sure to adjust the headrest. After all, after a frontal impact, the human body first moves forwards and then backwards. It is at this point that you can suffer a serious neck injury. Simply because the headrest is not adjusted. But if the back of the head is clearly resting on it, the risk of injury is much smaller.
Such straps will be installed in any tuning shop, while the standard strap remains in place. That is, there will be no serious interventions in the design of the car. In addition, racing “gadgets” are easy to remove and place in the trunk.
With ABS, the situation is more complicated. Modern devices usually work together with a brake force distribution system. It doses the deceleration intensity for each wheel. That is, it allows you to safely slow down in a bend and not be afraid of skidding. However, a car without ABS has an advantage in certain cases. For example, on a winter road, blocked wheels will rake up a snow bank in front of them, allowing you to slow down faster.
Here we can only advise the purchase of good tires that will provide excellent “hold” on any surface. And also to train your own security system – the head. This is possible with many driving courses. They show you what to do if a car slips or breaks down, and they also tell you how to predict the situation on the road so as not to get into trouble. Then the driver will not notice that his car is too “simplified”.
