The background of nonoperating motor vehicle safety is reviewed and the magnitude of the problem is discussed. The study: notes the difficulty in identifying nonoperating hazards by hard statistics; shows the minuscule quantity of data available in usable form; discusses nonoperating hazardous conditions which exist in some contemporary vehicle models; examines the statutory role of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in nonoperating safety efforts; discusses the Experimental Safety Program in relation to nonoperating safety features. The report concludes that a considerable reduction in nonoperating accidents and injuries might be achieved with a relatively simple engineering effort. Such a possibility might be better pursued by voluntary methods rather than mandatory standards, since reducing injuries has lower priority than preventing the large numbers of fatalities which are occurring on the highways. Recommendations are made to provide consumer information on nonoperating hazards which could be eliminated or reduced, to identify the quantitative role of nonoperating hazards, and to encourage nonoperating safety features in Experimental Safety Vehicles.
