It is the one that is responsible for minimizing the negative consequences that can occur when the accident is inevitable.

Automotive safety is critical in these cases, especially considering that existing devices have not been designed for them. In many countries (for example, in the Member States of the European Union) the use of restraint mechanisms appropriate to weight and height is mandatory; from special chairs to boosters that prevent the seat belt from causing suffocation if an accident occurs. In all cases, they must be used following the manufacturers' instructions, and the danger that the airbag can represent for a baby or child must be remembered.

Traffic accidents are the leading cause of death in children under 14 years of age, and the use of child restraint systems or baby seats can reduce deaths by 75% and injuries from traffic accidents by up to 90%.

Complying with these types of regulations and with child seats should not only be done with the aim of avoiding fines, but should always be used when traveling with children and ensure that they are correctly approved, to safeguard the lives of children.

When choosing a child restraint system, research should be done on which ones are the best and most appropriate for our car, and in this way, ensure that the child is always as safe as possible in his or her seat during the journey. Currently in the European Union, there are two different regulations for child seats; In 2013, the ECE R129 regulation, which is also known as i-Size, came into force, and the ECE R44/04 regulation has existed since 1982. This should also be taken into account to choose the one that best suits our needs, but at the same time, is modern and complies with existing regulations.

"Many drivers who follow the same route every day do so without using the area of ​​the brain where conscious thought takes place," says traffic scientist Michael Schrekkenberg") of the University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany). Because they know the road, drivers take care of other things instead of concentrating on traffic; Consequently, they take longer to notice dangers. For this reason, they are advised to continually remember the need to be alert and not be distracted from the road. Not only should you keep in mind that you know the road but also the weather since driving on a sunny day is not the same as driving in a heavy downpour or on a frozen road.

En Auckland (Nueva Zelanda), la investigadora Sue Furness realizó un estudio sobre 1000 automóviles en su país, el cual descubrió que los automóviles de color plata habían tenido menos accidentes graves que los de color verde, café o negro, o morado.

También en Auckland, un estudio (Newstead y D’Elía, 2007)[3]​ descubrió que los automóviles de color blanco tuvieron una tasa significativamente mayor de sufrir accidentes graves que los autos de otros colores, incluido el rojo.

El estudio de color de los vehículos, realizado por el MUARC (Centro de Investigación de Accidentes de la Universidad de Monash) y publicado en 2007, analizó 855.258 accidentes ocurridos entre 1987 y 2004 en los estados australianos de Victoria y Australia Occidental que dieron como resultado lesiones o al menos el remolque de un vehículo. El estudio analiza el riesgo relacionado con las condiciones de luz.[3]​.

Color table in order of danger

The following table[3]​ presents the relationship between traffic accidents and different car colors. The dangerousness of the color white is used as a unit. For example,.

Mexico City and the metropolitan area are characterized by congestion and frequent accidents. It is considered that road accidents are among the 10 leading causes of death in the country,[4]​ with a percentage of 65%, varying between pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, without counting the consequences of disability and those hospitalized that do not appear among the statistics.[5]​.

In Mexico, the main accidents are collisions between cars, with fixed objects such as poles or sidewalks and with vulnerable users such as pedestrians or motorcyclists. Most accidents occur in urban and suburban areas and 6% on highways. Accidents occur due to alcohol consumption, exceeding the speed limit or distraction such as cell phone use.[6]​ These have increased due to the circulation of an increasing number of private cars and the lack of strategies that prevent accidents.[4]​.

Of the population, adults ages 20 to 49 comprise 65.3%, most of them men. The majority of hit-and-run victims are children under 5 years of age and adults over 70; Young adults are the main victims of accidents involving motorcycles.[4]​.

At the end of 2015, photo fines were implemented to help improve road safety and thereby reduce the percentage of road accidents. By 2018, it is believed that they have reduced road accidents by up to 17%.
