The government is upgrading its crash test program for new cars and trucks to give consumers better information about vehicle safety. The program will continue to grade new vehicles on a scale of up to five stars but add an overall safety rating that combines scores from several crash tests. The new system also will include new front-end tests, a test simulating a vehicle striking a pole in the side and female crash test dummies to represent women and large children. click for story click for second story
