One of the ways the driver can reduce the risk of whiplash is to adjust the headrest appropriately.
More than half of headrests in all cars are not correctly fitted to the drivers height and size, this is one of the main causes of whiplash in an accident.
The insurance companies get a rough time here as they have to pay compensation to the driver if they receive a whiplash injury in an accident, when it could have been prevented if the driver was correctly seated and headrest in the suitable posture.
The suitable position for the headrest is nine centimetres from your head's centre of gravity and as close to the back of your head as possible, no more than seven centimetres away.
Another way of reducing the risk of whiplash is to stay calm during an accident.
Whiplash is caused by stress which makes the neck tense, so when the neck is jolted sharply it pulls the neck muscles.
