+1 on this. Especially after yesterday's experience. My daughter was driving us to Costco (me in the backseat) in her Nissan Xtrail(like a Rav4). A half ton truck backed out of a blind spot in front us. The daughter braked hard. The half ton drove away while my daughter was leaning on the horn. Road rage!?!!!
Did not hit him but it was close....
No low cars for first car. Volvo, suv that sits higher such as Rav4. Lots of airbags etc.
ABS brakes are essential.
