Well that's what the manufacturers want you to believe anyways!
It's all about managing risk, or for some people, pretending that you can't get hurt or killed in a car. With a little older car you can't really fool yourself that you're invincible. Very scary!
I run chainsaws, fall trees, heat with wood, drink raw milk, eat raw fish, cook my steak rare, snowboard, mountain bike, boot around on my motocross bike, snowmobile on ice, hunt with firearms, and drive an old unsafe Neon to work everyday.
I guess if I did all those things in a risky way I'd probably be dead already! But I don't and hopefully I'll be here for a while to come!
Really we should drive our death traps like a motorcycle rider and try very hard to avoid the collision to begin with by paying attention to what's going on.
