Before finding to the answer of the question Which is the most dangerous car lets first try to find out that how the cars are put under threat, all the data is taken from NHTSA for deciding the most vulnerable car. there are many factors for putting your own car under threat which includes
Risky Driving which further includes
Drunk Driving
Drug Impaired Driving
Distracted Driving
No Seat belts
Over speeding
Drowsy Driving
Over the past years car rating providers has learnt a lot from the accidents happened in the road and adapted the new rating system again and again, and added the required technology for car manufacturer to include and in order to pass the vehicle through safety rating.
lets have a timeline overview of US 5 star rating program which shows how rating standards and car safety have been advanced over the time period
1970 - its the first time by the highway safety to adopt the mission of preventing road accidents and deaths, until now there was no safety related strategy existed.
1978 - frontal crash test started on dummies inside the vehicle, and based on the protection ratings were given.
1993 - 5 star rating system started to aware drivers about the safety feature in the cars
1996 - Side crash protection test started
2000 - Resistance to rollover crash test started which is more vulnerable than any other test
2003 - Rollover test were updated and simulated in a more real way
2004 - A centralized database was created for the user to search for 5 star safety rating programs.
2006 - Included to window label for new vehicles 5 star rating information.
2010 - Overall vehicle score and recommended safety technologies included.
2013 - added rear view video system in the list of recommended technologies to prevent back over incidents and made compulsory for vehicles from 2018.
2016 - added automatic braking system
Frontal Crash Test
Side pole crash test
in the end hope you follow all the rules and drive risk free, before buying any car check all the safety features included in the car rather than fancy features.

Frontal Crash Test
- Average male driver with female beside
- both dummies seat belt tied
- head on Collision
- Crashed with vehicles of same weight class with +/-250lbs
- Evaluated injury on head, neck, leg, chest
- Vehicles speed 35mph
Side barrier crash test
- Adult scenario similar to frontal
- Intersection type Collision
- 3,015 lb crashes at 38.5mph at standing vehicle
- Head, Chest, pelvis, abdomen injury are evaluated
Side pole crash test
- on the driver seat small sized adult female
- Secured with seat belt
- Vehicle at 75deg angle crashes into 25cm diameter pole at the 20mph
- head, chest, lower spine, pelvis, abdomen injury are evaluated
Rollover Resistance Test
- it is the flipping of the vehicle at 55mph meeting a curvy road, usually this usually the rollover resistance is judged by the static stability factor (SSF), which decides how top heavy the vehicle is.
Following are the technology that vehicle should contain
- Forward collision warning
- Lane departure warning
- Rear view video system
- Automatic emergency braking system
- Air bag
- Seat belt
- Tyre pressure monitoring system
in the end hope you follow all the rules and drive risk free, before buying any car check all the safety features included in the car rather than fancy features.
