for Khurram to come in and promote the ideology that improved crash-worthiness and safety equipment somehow signify a potential fault line in the belief system, and that it is the driver who must be alert, responsible and be a mistake-proof hero.
“Spare the car and damn the driver.”

Unless our routine participant has changed his ideas, here is a recap: https://carspiritpk.com/global-ncap-wants-south-africa-to-improve-vehicle-safety-standards/

Mean no harm or mockery, just an academic example of how a certain ×-section of our society approaches the topic of automobile safety.

In reply to Muhammad AQ.

No rating or (whether optional or compulory) testing, but end of 2021, they must adhere to WP.29 but they can get a waiver of 18 months.

Commenting on the [negative] star rating of [locally assembled cars], [nobody except some enthusiast bloggers], said:

“It is disappointing and upsetting that such poor safety performances offered by [local car assemblers] to [Pakistani] consumers. [Pakistani] OCAP (Obsolete Car Assessment Program) calls and encourages [local car assemblers] to dramatically improve the model standard safety very soon. [Pakistani] consumers are forced to pay more than the basic price to get to the same safety specs that [principals of these local car assemblers] offers as standard in markets like Europe and in [nearly all] cases, they are not even available in [Pakistan]. Basic vehicle safety, which is standard in mature economies markets, is a right that [Pakistani] consumers should claim without having to pay extra for them. These safety features act like vaccines for one of the most severe pandemics like road traffic injuries and fatalities. Consumers have the right to receive the same vaccine supplied anywhere else without having to pay more for it.”

Is there any rating for the vehicles that we drive here in Pakistan? Would love to read about safety measures that we practice.
