For anyone buying a car, one of the key considerations will always be safety. Choosing between cars on this basis is increasingly difficult because most modern cars are well equipped to absorb, and possibly prevent, accidents thanks to the wide array of safety technology now available. Equipment such as anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic stability programmes (ESP) and ISOFIX child-seat mounts are mandatory on all new cars but newer technology, such as autonomous braking (AEB) and lane-departure warning systems, are quickly becoming commonplace in the average family car as well.
