Are our Slants "Unsafe"?

needsaresto said

I also feel that folks KNOW thier cars are safer,handle better and take more risks based upon those facts than they did when our A bodies were new. After all back then folks also knew they would definitely be injured in a crash,and the cars were less capable of avoiding a crash so folks drove according to thier cars abilities.

Definitely agree with this. New cars are being advertised as baloon-filled cocoons that will "ensure" your survival. Add that to the lax driving tests that dont even require that a new driver "locks them up" from 60mph to at least have an inkling of what to do in a real-world situation. Just watch the phone-totin, SUV driving, invincibles out there, who have no idea what car control is, or even how to back-up properly. It's sad.
