Too Afraid to Ask

Crash testing is when cars are tested to see how safe they are if they get into an accident. This helps car makers know if their cars are safe for drivers and passengers.

Technical Definition

Crash testing refers to the process of testing vehicles to evaluate their safety in the event of a collision. This is an essential step for manufacturers to ensure compliance with safety regulations before a car can be sold.
