Vehicles have safety elements that we must know and use correctly. These elements can be for active or passive safety, depending on their purpose. ACTIVE (or primary) safety elements aim to reduce the chance of an accident happening, acting before it happens, either automatically or through the driver's action. PASSIVE (or secondary) safety elements, such as the airbag, act automatically to reduce the severity of the injuries suffered in an accident.
