[quote=Anonymous]Get something with modern safety features which are often optional on new cars (ABS and traction control are standard on everything these days), especially automatic emergency braking/collision avoidance and lane keeping assist. These can help even a smaller, lighter vehicle avoid an accident in the first place if the new and inexperienced driver makes an error in judgment or if another driver precipitates a potential crash. The heavier, larger, and newer the car the better, too, since the vehicle with the greater mass will usually do better in an accident, and because newer cars benefit from improved safety design and superior metallurgy in their construction as compared to older vehicles. Many parents prioritize saving money over their child's safety when selecting a vehicle, which is fine until an accident occurs. [/quote]
