I’d much rather put my family in a 5,500lb Ford Expedition than a Toyota Camry. An Expedition will generally smoke a Camry (or similiar) any day of the week.[/quote]
True but this kind of idea troubles me. I mean I do respect you wanting to protect your family from harm but what about the other families driving in Camry (or similar)?
How would you feel if your 5,500lb SUV got tangled up with a smaller car and caused serious injury/death to a small child in the smaller car?
just a thought.[/quote]
How someone ‘feels’ is really not the issue – the mean streets of Southern California are brutal – almost law of the Jungle.
Take my advice: Drive the largest car/SUV you can afford to drive, never mind how other people feel. It’s no guarantee, but it does improve your chances.
The point is not to save gas, the point is to survive.
BTW, I have zero accidents and zero tickets and I’m not an aggressive driver at all. I drive to survive and have great consideration for other drivers as well.
