Purchase safer vehicles

When choosing your next car put safety high on your priority list—opt for one with a high safety rating to help keep you, your passengers and other road users safe.
Higher standards of vehicle safety are vital to make driving safer for all road users and to achieve our goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on NSW roads. Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) (ancap.com.au) ratings for new cars and Used Car Safety Ratings (UCSR) (howsafeisyourcar.com.au) for used cars help buyers make informed decisions on choosing the safest vehicles. The ratings, between one and five stars, are based on their ability to avoid a crash, and the levels of protection they provide their occupants and other road users in the event of a crash.
