Can the Honda Accord really be safe, read this...?

Question

I can't believe someone died from such a common fender bender. Read the story here...

http://cbs2.com/local/Santa.Ana.Fatal.2.638627.html

This wouldn't happen in a heaver american built car.

Answer 1

"The driver of the second vehicle, partially ejected from his car, died at the scene,"  - from the news report.

This appears to be American driving; jumping red lights; excessive speed (to jump center median); no seat belt.

Heavier vehicles would have caused more damage because of the greater kinetic energy involved and, if movies are to be believed, would have caught fire.

Answer 2

So you are saying a heavy American built car puts your seat belt on for you?

Or perhaps people that don't buckle up in a Honda would in a Buick?

What does it have to do with safety of the Honda that someone doesn't follow the laws?

Answer 3

NO HONDAS ARE NOT SAFE IN GENERAL THEY ARE 1400 POUND TIN CANS AND PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY ARE RACE CARS BUY A JEEP

Answer 4

Truth is, you can die in ANY models and makes!

Answer 5

Hardly.  Whatever you ride if you don't wear a seatbelt and check the airbags you'll still be seriously injured or dead.

I have a chevy and a small fender bender almost took off the whole fender!

Answer 6

ur wrong...read the artical...the dead guy half ejected from car...no seatbelt,,,

Answer 7

Well first it was not just a common fender bender, speeding was a factor and the one that got partially ejected probably was not wearing their seat-belts, this was just a freak accident and could have happen with any type of vehicle but yes a larger vehicle might have helped.
