6Like polypropylene, polycarbonate is so resistant to impact that it is often used for car front and rear ones and headlight lenses

7you will frequently find Polypropylene in car bumpers, gas cans and even the carpet ones of your car's interior flooring

10Polycarbonate is also lightweight, so it reduces a car's overall weight which in turn improves vehicle and petrol efficiency

11The more deformed a car is after impact, the more energy it absorbed to protect the occupants. Running a car into a wall and having the car remain unscathed means the energy went into the occupants (unless of course the wall DID THIS instead)

2With Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene or ___, steering wheel covers and dashboards are often made of this plastic

3Bob adds, actually the complete opposite is true for old cars vs ____ cars. Safety standards have improved dramatically and traffic fatality rates have declined by almost half due to an array of safety technologies in the cars and highways

4Plastic seems to be popping up everywhere nowadays and the automotive manufacturing kind of business is no exception

5polycarbonate is highly resistant to weathering, able to handle conditions from rain and snow to this and cold

8Polypropylene has excellent chemical and heat resistance and is generally resistant to a big or small one

9Polyvinyl Chloride, more commonly known as PVC, is a fire retardant plastic that can be formed into either flexible or rigid components

13Barbra illustrates how the human body does not like abrupt stops and all that energy in a collision has to __ somewhere
