Actually, that's absolutely false.

Modern vehicles, with 'engineered crumple zones/collapsible steering columns/airbags/Etc., Etc'....are MUCH safer.

The same goes for mandatory seat belt use, children deaths with the advent of car seat regulations...and Etc., Etc., Etc.

Not to even mention the tremendous reduction in injuries/deaths in most industries...due to safety regulations.

All easily provable...with a simple search.
