I suppose you work in an accident research unit to find out a truth like that?
It is total nonsense to confuse the bullshit of certain people, who, under the guise of "safer" cars, either allow themselves to drive more dangerously, or to neglect fundamentals such as the maintenance of security organs ( tires and brakes in particular) with, I quote, a "misconception of security"...
The progress in terms of passive safety is undeniable, you only have to go and search the (yet recent) archives of EuroNCAP to realize it. Progress in the field of active safety is also easily verifiable, you just have to drive an old one (like your 504) and compare it with a modern one like a 307 for example to quickly see differences in terms of braking, handling in dry and wet conditions.
Now, the fact that YOU, you have not had an accident with your old cars is only a reflection of your caution, not the level of safety of your vehicles ...
Should not be seen to mix everything and make a particular case a generalizable truth.
There are real things in what you say: modern cars are much quieter than before (and it's really good for listening to music and putting on long journeys without being completely exhausted nervously on arrival ...) and LPG is the perfect example of the false good idea of fuel to replace oil.jean63 wrote:In modern cars you no longer hear the engine, you no longer realize the speed at which you are driving, you tend to fall asleep. With the 504 petrol, I know that I am not top for pollution, but given the low annual mileage (4000 km max), I do not bcp increase the CO2 in the atmosphere ...
I can continue on the LPG ... etc ..... there are many speeches to review.
For the rest, the use of a 504 must still, despite your "that" 4000 km annual, produce as many different pollutants as an equivalent modern car that would do between 3 and ...... many times more !
