A nonprofit agency in charge of driving safety in the United States, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), recently issued a list of the most unsafe vehicles this year.

From a number of crash tests (crash-test) done IIHS stated, lower-class sedan vehicles most at risk during a fatal accident. Chevrolet Aveo and the Chrysler PT Cruiser was accused as a car that has ranked worst crash-test in their classes. Especially the impact of the side and rear crash an accident.

The way a car handles itself during a crash determines much about the severity of the occupants’ injuries. Some cars hold up better than others: Tiny cars and low-level sedans are especially at risk, according to crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Bigger cars, because of their mass, generally fare better in tests–but may be more likely to roll.

This helps explain why the Chevrolet Aveo and Chrysler PT Cruiser, both inexpensive, smaller cars, have the worst crash-test ratings in their class–they each received “marginal” test-results for side- and rear-impacts. They join the Cadillac STS and Mercury Grand Marquis as some of the most dangerous vehicles of 2010.
