Bad shock absorbers influence driving behavior. If the German data - one out of 4 cars has one or more faulty shock absorbers - are applicable for the Netherlands the assumption that bad shock absorbers contribute to traffic safety is not unreasonable. It is difficult to determine when they do not work very well and the police registration is not directed at the aspect in accidents, so it is probable that accidents due to defective shock absorbers are not registered in the statistics. To determine whether defective shock absorbers greatly influence traffic safety in the Netherlands two studies are recommended: the first on the quality of shock absorbers in Dutch cars and the second on the quality of shock absorbers of cars involved in accidents.
