The safety argument. although true. is all crap.

If a SUV hits a Civic - the civic is in trouble.. "So lets make them bigger and more safe" leads us to Larger Cars..
Well if a SEMI hits a SUV - is not the SUV in trouble???
If a TRAIN hits a SEMI - is not the SEMI in trouble??

So to make everyone safe - we all need to ride in trains...

WAIT A MINUTE - that would actually work -
: )
Mass Transit answers Both issues ( safety and efficiency)
