BDifficulty 2/5

What is the principal purpose of primary or active vehicle safety?

Correct answer

Help prevent a crash from occurring.

To help prevent crashes. For example, brakes, sound tyres and appropriate lighting contribute to control and visibility. Passive safety aims to reduce injuries when a crash occurs, as with seat belts and child restraints. No system guarantees preventing every crash; this classification also does not mean every vehicle must carry every available technology.
