Several important bits of news came out of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety this week. They’re the government-independent safety organization funded by the insurance companies to help improve vehicle safety and reduce insurance claims. One of the reports that came out was their testing of half-ton class pickup trucks, while the other was a report that talked about how deaths have increased along with speed limits.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is an organization that independently crash tests vehicles for insurance companies. Their tests are typically more challenging than the government’s own crash testing, and their procedures are not influenced by the government.
