A new study in Chicago showed that in American schools is also not going smoothly. "Driving schools teach cadets to driving old cars that do not meet modern safety standards" - sound familiar? But don't hurry with conclusions, because we are not talking about Russia or the CIS countries with a similar problem was faced. . . in the United States. Security issues and the age of the vehicles concerned in the publication of the Chicago Tribune, where conducted the study. It was found that in schools prefer budget supported machines CD - and-class Golf. Thus, according to the researchers, many of them do not meet safety standards, because they received low scores in crash tests conducted by the Institute IIHS. The results of the work of journalists interested and editors blog blogs. cars that are did their study. Although the authors did not agree with the Chicago Tribune on the average age of cars in the driving schools - he was only 4.8 years - information about the low level of vehicle safety has been confirmed: for example, one of the most popular models used for training, was already banned production of Chevrolet Cavalier. As for brands, which are preferred by the Chicago driving school, first place went to the Chevrolet brand (37,7%), the second - Ford (29,5), the third - Plymouth (8,6%), the fourth Hyundai (4.8 per cent) and Toyota rounded out the top five (3,8). It is noteworthy that the third-ranked Plymouth for 10 years as ceased to exist, but Hyundai is an absolute beginner and his appearance in the list is primarily due to growth in love of cars of this brand in the USA. In General, it seems that the choice of driving schools in favor of a used domestic car - not a Russian thing, but it is a standard economic factor, which can be traced not only in our country.
