Don’t worry! We’ll go through the process of revising safety ratings to include people outside the car just for auto manufacturers to switch their advertisements to say “five star passenger safety rating” instead 😀
Also car height.
I’ve been hit by a car about 20 years ago and I kinda just rolled on top of it and landed behind confused with a few scrapes.
Getting hit by a car whose bumper is about shoulder height is much more likely to kill you.Safe for who?
Occupants.
I don’t care what happens to anyone I hit, as long as I can walk away from rolling my SUV at 200kmh.
Sound selfish
Unfortunately this is how many people think.
Personally I don’t drive a large car, don’t drive very fast, and try to use public transit as much as possible.
If I’m being honest, I wouldn’t let my (future) kids drive a little car. They’d save up enough money to get a shitty little car, and I’d pay the rest to get them a big car. I’ve seen what happens to little cars in crashes, and if people continue driving the way they do, I’d rather my kid be in a big car rather than a little one (not Western nation).
