It is probably easier to avoid accidents in a car that is easier to control. Ofcourse, it is possible to build BIG cars that allow the driver a lot of control but there aren't many of them in the market (or maybe I haven't tried enough BIG cars). Also, many BIG cars have lousy power steering which don't allow any "feel for the road". -- sanjay {allegra,decvax}!watmath!srradia
