If I were to say describe your average Jaguar driver in but three words then I'd have to employ those squiggly keys on the old alpha-numerical that don't usually see much in the way of fingered action. That much is true. If however, I happened to put the same question to a registered owner of a big cat then I'm pretty sure, not content with singular words, the phrases they'd care to utter would at some point include inherently well-bred, unchallenged air of sophistication and appreciator of the finer things life has to offer. Which would automatically make me side with the green eyed monsters and understand exactly where they're coming from, and so leave those still white squiggly keys, white and squiggly?

Three words that wouldn't spring to mind from either party would be pedestrian safety awareness I can assure you though. Yet these are precisely the three words Jaguar are righteously back-slapping themselves for right now, on receipt of an award in light of their recent achievements in this field. Not exactly an Outstanding Contribution gong to decades of tireless service to safety, but all the same something of note, and a worlds first. Well, it is if you pretend Citroen doesn't exist. Which, lets face it, if you're Jaguar, for all intense and purpose - they don't.

And it's all down to Jaguar's bonnet. Their pop-up variety, located at the front of its new XK model targets clumsy pedestrians, and in doing so has won a safety award from the home of awkwardly-shaped jay-walkers - the US of A. The bonnets aim is to cushion the suicidal yank as they make their bid for a better way of life, and it's been recognised by none other than the World Traffic Safety Symposium. Black-tied people parted with the automotive award at said posh-do in acknowledgement of both the coupe and convertibles bonnet technology. The pyrotechnic design creates more space between the bonnet and the engine and is said to protect pedestrians better as a result.

Like Prestigecarinsurance.com said earlier in our conversation, Citroen has also developed a similar system for its new C6 executive car, technology which helped the French manufacturer earn a similar Safety Award in the slightly less prestigious What Car? magazine ceremony apparently.

Its no great secret in the automotive industry that Pop-up bonnets are likely to become more, how can Prestigecarinsurance.com put it, common, as safety legislators put greater emphasis on pedestrian protection, which previously wasn't a subject broached that often or considered a high priority. Not in America anyway.

The crash test programme launched some years ago by Euro NCAP had, from its conception, drawn up guidelines to combine statistics for pedestrian safety ratings in with the occupant figures, but had scrapped the idea for reasons best known to themselves. Although they somewhat perversely lend support to the claim by critics that, if perhaps they had morphed the two pieces of analysis together, then this might just have resulted in tougher tests and subsequently faster developments of more pedestrian-friendly vehicles such as the new Jag. As often little, or no manufacture protection for pedestrians, is shown to be the case on many cars still tested today.

Prestigecarinsurance.comdo have sleepless nights thinking about pedestrians, but are more concerned about drivers obviously, especially the prestige car insuring ones who contact Prestigecarinsurance.com weekly to arrange stunning prestige car insurance.
