BllFs6,

One expert noted that as we made cars quiter, with airbags, antilock brakes,
better handling, etc etc drivers tended to use up much of those safety gains by
becoming more aggressive drivers...because all those things made a car "feel"
safer and therefore people pushed the envelope farther.....


Both car and GA accident rates have dramatically declined with technical
improvements to safety over the last decades. This expert is simply not supported
by the numbers.
