    I maintain that a slow car is more dangerous than a fast one.

      I don’t disagree with that. I have a Bolt EV, which isn’t fast (0-60 in 6.7s) but it has that instant acceleration at any speed that has quickly gotten me further away from sketchy drivers or situations more than a few times.

      There’s probably something of a bell curve of safety going from super slow to super fast, lol

        At some point the danger becomes the driver, not the vehicle itself. A shit box will struggle to hit interstate speeds no matter what. A proper car being driven properly comes down to the individual controlling it
