Eh? Yeah, they were. The injury and death rates per vehicle-mile travelled and per vehicle registered and per capita (in other words, however you want to look at it) used to be much worse than they presently are.
Hm...I didn't know that! I did notice my car stopped on a dime today saving me from rear-ending someone. I always thought that power brakes were more powerful because they're vacuum assisted!
Anyways I'm glad I posted this question. Before I did, I was driving around like a dick thinking my car was "oh so safe" because she's heavy. Now I drive a crap-ton more carefully....And thank God I do now because I would've destroyed a Buick this afternoon.:cheers:
I wish there was a way to adjust my seat belt though. When it's buckled in, the top part of the damned thing is practically resting on my neck.:banghead:
