Crash testers Euro NCAP have released video footage highlighting the improvements to car safety over the past 20 years.

The footage shows two different crash tests, one from 1997 and one from 2017. In each of the tests the two cars, a Rover 100 and a Honda Jazz, are travelling at the same speeds, but the results are dramatically different.

Euro NCAP say that over the past 20 years the tests have helped to halve the number of people killed on the UK’s roads.
