Active and passive safety
Explanation
The **active and passive safety systems** in vehicles are designed so that drivers can **drive more safely**.
- **Active safety**: These are elements of the vehicle that help to **prevent accidents**. They include brakes, wheels, and the lighting system. The driver must use them correctly for them to be effective.
- **Passive safety**: These elements are designed to **reduce damage** in the event of an accident. They operate automatically and do not require driver intervention. Examples include the seatbelt, airbag, and headrests.
Both types of systems contribute to making drivers and passengers more protected, but they do not completely eliminate the risk of accidents. Therefore, their main function is to **increase safety** during driving, not to prevent all accidents or allow driving at high speeds without danger.
