Informed for LIFE

Informed for LIFE

Informed for LIFE is a Connecticut non-profit organization that provides "a free, public service to guide consumers on the use of vehicle crash test and fatality data".

Informed for LIFE aggregates car safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), plus vehicle weight, into a risk index "SCORE (Statistical Combination Of Risk Elements)" that claims to demonstrate "superior correlation with actual driver fatalities than any other safety evaluation method".

In June 2006, Forbes Autos used car safety data from Informed for LIFE to produce a listing of the top 10 safest vehicles [ [http://www.forbesautos.com/advice/toptens/safest/vehicles.html Forbes Autos - Top 10 Safest Vehicles] ] .
