When does a car stop being safe?

Regain your privacy over your email: My newsletter for video releases and behind the scene content: Old cars are cars are safer. How old is too old? I spent months figuring out how car safety actually works and I’ll share those details with you. IIHS Safe Vehicles for Teens: The IIHS website is great but it provides no guidance for “when a vehicle becomes dangerous”. I think this guide gives you a great cutoff and a way to judge what vehicle to buy. Big big thanks to Drekken Pownz @ProBotsAI for his help with the storyline. Thanks to @excessorizeme for lending me his GoPros.
