Other than size, there is no comparison between a Smart car and a golf cart, as far as road worthiness. The Smart is required to and, in fact does, meet all federal highway safety requirements. As far as being sideswiped by a semi, I doubt any car would not be totally demolished. Maybe we should all be driving semis!
