Are Hybrids Safe in the UK?

According to the latest NCAP test, the Honda Civic Hybrid dropped from five stars to four. The Civic dropped a point for adult occupancy protection when the driver's airbag did not prevent the dummy from hitting its head on the steering wheel. But the Civic Hybrid did score higher for child protection and pedestrian protection.

The Prius scored five stars for adult occupation protection back in 2004.
