| ![]() In other words 2017 will be the time to buy a new car that complies with the revised standards. Thanks for this information. |

| ![]() Thank you for the information sir. A global organization, urges an Indian Association of car makers, to implement the UN Car Safety Standards, before the Government of India makes it mandatory w.e.f. 10/2017, to make safer cars vide the B.N.V.S.A program, in the wake of an Interim High Court Order, is a sorry state of affairs ![]() |

| ![]() A wonderful initiative and very thoughtful of them to request SIAM to adopt international standards. Now, lets wait and watch for the comical reasoning the babus and head honchos come up with to deny this request. I bet it will be along the lines of: "By selling cars that do not adhere to a minimum basic safety standard, we are encouraging our customers to drive safer and making India a safer place! How? Simple! If they have a safe car, they will go fast and cause accidents. If they don't have a safe car, they won't drive fast, thereby reducing accidents!" Wake up you morons, and smell the coffee ![]() |

| ![]() Our country's biggest carmaker has this to say about safety features: http://indianexpress.com/article/bus...-maruti-chief/ With this in mind, I'm not very hopeful of meaningful legislation to enforce Global NCAP standards. We might end up with a NCAP program that tests cars at 20km/h - A condition that I recall Maruti's chairman/MD specifying in a different article ![]() |

![]() The masses themselves are not concerned about the safety, which ultimately motivates the car makers to come out with low on safety small cars on the pretext that any increase in the car price owing to raise in safety standard, will affect the sales and would ultimately turn away the potential buyers. Every sane thinking and safety conscious motorist sincerely hopes that the things improve for good, till then all the talking on the issue is like beating a dead horse. ![]() | |

But at least it is a good news that there is already some plan to implement certain safety rules from 10/2017, let us hope at least such rules are strict and compulsorily phases out all models that are not complying the norms. There should not be any other way out to sell these non-complying models (such as adding a bumper guard as a workaround for failed crash test) | |

| ![]() This will be really interesting. Rather than request UN should have given a mandate for all car manufacturers to have vehicles adhere to the safety requirement and have it publish its rating in the brochures. (I Know its sounds weird) A lot depends on educating car buyers too. We are eager to spend a lakh bucks on HU & alloys on a base version of a swift rather than buying the top - end which has the most number of safety features.
