I would say the vast majority of the drivers on this forum who modify their cars pay much more attention to what's going around them in traffic with the intent of conserving momentum but with the side benefit of vastly improved situational awareness than those that don't. We'll also likely be driving a tad slower than the inattentive majority of the drivers around us.

We also represent a regrettably small portion of the driving population. So with all that said your stunned texting pokemon playing pedestrian is going to die at the hands of many more average drivers driving 'regulation' vehicles any day of the week. Period.
