I was slowing down to turn left and he was going about 45 the opposite direction. I remember it like it was yesterday.
My point is, as much as we place value in crash survivability, most of us will go through life being involved in few if any car accidents, most of these will be fender benders and even head-on collisions can be mitigated by wearing seat belts, as I was doing.
But it is better to avoid accidents altogether, something smaller cars have a decided advantage over larger ones.
The wrecks I’ve been in, all in other people’s cars with them driving, have happened so fast that there really was no way to avoid them, probably even with a smaller car. But this is a very limited sample.
