This is hard to answer but, I give thanks to God for the safety equipment now installed on new cars. I have had two incidents recently where a driver crossed into my lane with inadequate clearance and my car sensed this and applied the brakes faster than I would have been able to avoiding a crash. One of these was on the by-pass around Chicago where traffic is dense and high speed. It also warned me of a pedestrian passing behind while backing and I find the lane change warning and correction to be of value. I am 87 with a good driving record and fairly good reactions and I would recommend to anyone of an older age to go for the improved safety on newer cars.
