Fascinating data analysis from the Economist looking at 7.5m US car crashes
The chart below shows likelihood of you dying in a car crash by weight of your car (grey line) and weight of other car (red line)
So it’s in our own self interest to get a heavier car (slight reduction in chance of our own death) but definitely not in society’s (big increase in chance other driver dies if our car gets heavier)
