You can see the difference in safety from the inside of the car. This is Chevrolet Bell Air in 1959. The entire car is distorted and the driver is in a very dangerous condition.


With 2009 Chevrolet and Malibu, the bonnet etc is broken, but the frame is distorted and the inside of the car does not collapse, so the safety of the driver is secured by the airbag etc etc.


Although the traffic accident itself is very dangerous, the safety of the car certainly seems to be rising.
