Steering – collapsible column

In a crash, the driver is vulnerable to injuries from hitting the steering wheel or column. Collapsible columns are designed to ‘fold’ under impact to prevent injuries. This is a key way of keeping the driver safe, even in cars fitted with airbags.

Steering wheels, along with all other features inside a car, should be covered with thick energy-absorbing padding to minimise harm if they are hit by the driver in a crash.
