Re: A video for all those who think that if a car is small it must be unsafe
I didnt listen to it but mostly from what I got from it is that newer cars, even if they are smaller are safer in general. I dont think it necessarily a good, small to large comparison (at least this vid) but it really does show how much safer, regardless of size, new cars are. Looking at simple physics a smaller car is at a disadvantage, but with the requirements of new cars its not really a crash, like show, that you have to worry about. Its when you have huge lifted trucks and SUVs with really high bumbers where its not a bumper to bumper crash, but the front end of the smaller car goes under the bumper of the other. They might be safer, but they cause themselves to be more of a danger to everyone else. Even when a large vehicle impacts the side of a car the smaller car would come out looking a lot better then you might expect. I could really get into this but not right now.
