Though there is much to be said for presenting a smaller target. Couple of years ago I was headed up the mountain in the Insight, and rounded a curve to see (I think) a Chevy Suburban headed towards me - sideways. I got the passenger side darned near rubbing the snowbank before the rear of the Suburban passed within what seemed like half an inch of my door. In a bigger car, I would have been toast.
