    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
