The first time time my wife saw one in this country she started laughing hysterically at it the driver noticed and flipped her off. She was driving a CTS so could have fit the “smart” car in her trunk.
I instantly feel nervous anytime I see one of these on the interstate.. I know if they hit or get hit by anything at speed they are likely not to survive.
While the car cabin can take a pretty good hit, you can’t decelerate the human body as fast as you do in those small cars... no crumple zones ..so odds are even if you don’t have passenger compartment intrusion, you likely are going to die
