Background of the Study There are excess of 43,000 deaths due to car accident every year. The majority of the car accident victims are the drivers then the passenger followed by the pedestrian and lastly the cyclist. (www.lawcore.com/car-accident/statistics) Drivers as the major victim of car accidents, we concerned about their safety, as of in our safety too. In order for us to be aware of deaths and injuries in vehicular accident, safety precaution and information must be proven and properly relayed to the public. As part of such argument, this study is done to provide more information and details to the safety of drivers. In this paper, we give evidences that ergonomics is one of the factors that affect the safety of the drivers. To provide efficient information to avoid unnecessary cost due to damage of properties. We define ergonomics as an applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use so that the people and things interact most efficiently and safely.
We can determine here if the physical features, the weight, the size, and the shape of the car/vehicle also affects the safety.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND THE HYPOTHESIS We cannot avoid accidents like in our roads, accidents always happened. This accident that leads to great lost in our properties including life. Seatbelts, airbags, and anti-lock brakes are some devices that provide safety to the car. In this case, ergonomics
