Father Time, don't you think that the implication you're trying to make is just a tad skewed? Just two points:
A) The picture is obviously an example of irresponsible driving. In a car like a Nissan Pulsar, whether you're responsible or not doesn't matter, if you get into an accident (even if it's not your fault), you're totally hosed.
B) The ratio of school buses to regular vehicles on the road makes it more likely that you'll be in a collision with a regular vehicle. While even a Hummer may not hold up against a schoolbus, a solid metal vehicle (like a Hummer, or a Volvo) is safer to get into a collision with than a lightweight, fuel efficient vehicle.
For my purposes, though, I should probably be driving something up-armored.
Have you ever heard this before? "No matter what gasoline costs, I want my family in a BIG car so they'll be safe!"

My views are always skewed.
