While road traffic injuries represent the leading cause in worldwide injury-related deaths,[32] their popularity undermines this statistic. Mary Ward became one of the first documented automobile fatalities in 1869 in Parsonstown, Ireland[33] and Henry Bliss one of the United States' first pedestrian automobile casualties in 1899 in New York City.[34] There are now standard tests for safety in new automobiles, like the EuroNCAP and the US NCAP tests,[35] and insurance industry-backed tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).[36] Worldwide, road traffic is becoming ever safer, in part do to efforts by the government to implement safety features in cars, and by implementing safety components (Vertical_deflection_traffic_calming_devices) on the roads themselves. |
