I've seen studies that appear to show that people will drive to a given level of "perceived risk". That is, if they think their vehicle is "safe", they will tend to take more risks and drive more dangerously.

I would bet that the relationships are not linear, and things are more complex and nebulous than that, but it is an interesting notion.
