Vehicle accidents are more rampant on Nigerian roads result in death of love ones yearly. Bearing in mind that accidents are inevitable, automobile manufacturers have fixed several safety devices to curtail the rate of accidents. Safety was not taken seriously during the early days of vehicle manufacturing it was until the first known fatal car accident of the last 1800s did safety becomes a design concern. The aim of this paper is therefore, to educate motorists and professionals on the importance of safety concept in automobile so as to save lives in the course of accident. Causes of accidents on the roads were itemizes and analyzed as well as recent and modern development of safety devices in automobile was researched upon. Accident avoidance on the auto safety and human factors as an integral part of the vehicle design process was also addressed.
CHAPTER ONE
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
INTRODUCTION The issue of safety concept in Automobile cannot be overemphasized. The resultant effect of lack of safety is accident which, happens when least expected is nobody’s wish.
Several authors have defined safety in many ways their definition tends towards preventing fatal accident to the barest minimum .Peden M. Mc Gee K, Sharma G. (2002) said safety measures is necessary in order to reduce the rate of accident from occurring. According to Conford (2005), whenever accident occurs, it is an indication that somebody somewhere has failed to do what should have
