I understand your point that modern vehicles are relatively safe, but after seeing the result of a semi truck taking out a pickup truck on the Interstate yesterday I am seriously considering my choice to drive a compact vehicle. I assume larger vehicles have larger&#x2F;longer crumple zones compared to compact vehicles and that higher vehicles have less chance of going under other vehicles? Of course it&#x27;s zero sum if everyone drives larger vehicles but I can&#x27;t force the local authorities to invest in better public transportation so I don&#x27;t even need to drive to work.
