Personal Auto Grades give you a great advantage over other car safety rating systems. Why is this important to you? Consider this:
• Are you the same driver you were twenty years ago? It’s likely that your driving style has changed over the years.
• Does your partner drive in the same way that your newly licensed teenager does? Of course not. Teenagers are more likely to be killed by road crashes than anything else.
• Does your senior parent have different protection needs from their automobile? Statistically, older drivers are more likely to be injured in a car crash than younger people, so their needs for a safe car are also different.

That’s where The Auto Professor comes in. Because we’re dedicated to helping you choose the best car to protect each driver, we’ve created Auto Grades. This easy to understand safety rating empowers you to find the safest car for your specific driver, not just an anonymous car crash dummy.
