Now there are a few sources thatβll end up telling you that modern cars are safer because of airbags, seatbelt technology, and aluminum material for weight distribution.
To a certain extent, I can buy into that concept, but then it ends up being a logical fallacy because Iβve noticed that a lot of these modern cars end up getting destroyed and folded flat like a pancake during an accident. I was a victim of this when I collided with another vehicle a few years ago in my 2007 dodge charger (which I no longer have anymore); it was plastic material. It really boils down to the material of the car. Steel will always be tougher and greater than plastic material.
