I have seen multiple accidents but the ones that stick with me is the truck that hit a sign and ejected the driver and passenger onto the highway were they were run over multiple times.
And one where a convertible hit a curb for a light rail flipped and smashed into a pole ejecting the passenger who lived but decapitated the driver still in the car.

Man I would agree that you should always wear your seatbelt because it’s probably safer in the heavy metal box but cars are just absolutely death traps waiting for a bad or distracted moment to kill you.

Pick a safe car. Tell people you love them and drive safe.

There’s no such thing as a safe car. Sure, you can have large crumple zones, but in a full on crash, it’s still a toss of the dice if you make it out alive. You probably didn’t mean it that way, but I despise the car industry selling ever-larger monstrosities under the pentence of safety, when all they do is put other people in danger

Oh sure. I meant like don’t buy one made of plastic or a convertible without a roll bar. But speed and luck are your defining odds for survival.

You can push the odds but using a heavier car to be more reckless elsewhere driving to keep the same odds of dying in a crash is so dumb.
