On the way to work this morning a 40ft Artic lorry fully laden decided to shunt me from behind and push me into the van in front of me. The Anti Whiplash headrests done their job and pushed forward to take up the gap between my head and the seat. It was surprisingly noticeable and I believe that my neck would have suffered more injury without it.

It is one of this cars features that you know is there but you do not fully appreciate it until the worst happens.

Wow, glad you're okay! Those kinds of accidents can be terrible -- the car did it's job to protect you and that's all that matters...
