Hi Guys,
I don't think we should be trying to determine if one car is "safer" than another because safe or survivability is dependent upon many things,I've seen accidents where it was expected that people would be fine,and it turns out that they died, I have survived one at 130 mph and lived, not a scratch, the car was a total wreck both front and rear TOTALLY destroyed,how or why we made it is still a mystry to me. High speed or low speed does not matter too much,the important thing IMO is being alert, be aware of your capabilities, and EQUALLY important, the capabilities of the car.Determining these qualities is done mostly by trial and error in this country,a lot of the times the errors are fatal.Learning these things should be under controlled situations and also be taught in drivers ed courses either at colleges or through DMV.The pre-requisit being,"BRING YOUR OWN".I am aware of schools like **** Barber, however there are not that many and not that cheap. Personally i'd feel much more comphy, knowing that most people on the road knew how to handle a car instead of knowing how to move a car.The defensive driving course approved by the DMV, IMO is BS.It is still in the realm of "moving" a car.
Thats just how i feel.
