The increasing number of vehicles with all wheel drive and anti-lock brakes has given some drivers a false sense of security. Instead of spinning your wheels in snow or ice, accelerating with a RWD car, you can now get up to your desired speed more easily. SUV's are more top heavy and more subject to a rollover when in a crash.

The good news is your chances of survival when belted in a car with airbags are much greater than in the vehicles of 20 or 30 years ago. It is still surprising that more people do not use their seat belts. When you have an accident and get ejected from the vehicle your chances of survival are drastically lower. Impacting a tree head first never has a good outcome!
