Estimates of annual mileages along with accident and injury rates have been computed for various vehicle makes and models. The estimates were derived using the North Carolina vehicle registration file, the North Carolina accident file, and a statewide collection of motor vehicle inspection receipts representing the sample of registered vehicles inspected primarily during the month of October 1974. All accident and injury rates declined for newer models. While the decrease in accident involvement rates was more pronounced for larger cars, injury rates declined for all vehicle sizes. In contrasting accident and injury rates for different vehicle sizes for comparable model years, it was found that the newer model years, full-sized cars had the lowest accident and injury rates.
