Re: Time For a Smaller Car Standard?

Well for one thing, many of us Neanderthals carry swords or machetes regularly.

I owned a 600cc Honda car in the 1970s. I also owned a VW Superbeetle. Neither of them would do well in a collision with an Escalade, but neither would a motorcycle.

I say build them and the customers will appear. What you lose in crashworthiness you gain in agility.

The vehicle is no more dangerous than a pistol is. It's the operator who controls the machine or the tool.

REAL DRIVER TRAINING will do more to cut road deaths and injuries than all the airbags in the world and all the windbags in Worshington.
