Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Honda Civic have good safety ratings in crash records?

Public crash records only track reported crash involvement (the count of times a vehicle appears in police reports), which is not a safety rating. To check official safety ratings, structural crashworthiness, and crash test results for the Honda Civic, consult the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Why is crash involvement not the same as a safety rating?

A vehicle might appear frequently in crash records simply because it is extremely popular and there are millions of them driven on the road (high exposure), or because it is favored by high-mileage drivers (such as commuters or rideshare operators). A true safety rating requires dividing crash counts by the total number of registered vehicles and vehicle miles traveled, alongside controlled laboratory crash testing.

“At fault” reflects the officer-coded field in the crash record, not a legal finding. That is why this page separates fault coverage from fault split: 110,524 rows were reported at fault, 3,361 were reported not at fault, and 117,828 were left without a recorded fault status. “People” refers to injury, passenger, or witness rows linked to the selected vehicle, not every occupant. Registration exposure and miles driven are not controlled.
