We love old and classic cars. But if we have to name just a single area in which all newer cars are better, that’s safety. With all the electronic safety and assist systems currently available in the automotive industry – in addition to the stronger body constructions, better brakes, and smarter energy-absorbing zones – modern vehicles are significantly safer than the models from the 1980s, 1990s, and even 2000s. But only if you know what those systems do and how to use them, and it turns out many drivers don’t.
