Modern cars are better engineered to deflect the energy of an impact
throughout the entire frame to the back (on a frontal impact),
instead of into the passenger area. Some cars are now built to
deflect impact from a direct hit on the passenger or driver side. If
you have access to a car "graveyard", take a closer look at the newer
- you'll see many with the passenger area intact.
In any case, like Gerry said, do drive defensively, which means
assertively, NOT aggressively.
