What irritates me the most is that despite the piss-poor training, there is a constant push for "safer" cars... mandatory seatbelts, air bags, crumple zones. Not to mention this insane "arms race" mentality... "I need a bigger SUV than the other guy so I'll be protected in a crash."

Isn't it a whole lot safer if you can just avoid the accident in the first place?
