I suppose mods I wouldn't want to do because of fuel efficiency vs safety would be something like removing the airbag to save weight.

Everything is about risk vs reward. You have to weigh the difference.

I know several people who don't have car or drivers license because they feel cars are too dangerous to people and/or the enviroment.

I partly agree and feel that automobiles are sort of a needed evil where I am. Therefore we need to use them as responsibly as possible, balancing safety, performance, and economy.
