1. Bigger vehicles are safer than smaller vehicles.
2. SUVs are safer than sedans in collisions
3. Bigger SUVs are safer than smaller ones.

Buy the biggest SUV you can afford. Better to die as a poor old man than die as a young man.

That's why I wrote safer than sedan in collisions.

And the chances of terbalik or dropping into the sea, imo, are much much lower than getting into collisions.

Heavier is better.


The heavier your vehicle is, the better it will protect you in a collision.

Crash-test ratings for a given vehicle are valid when compared to other vehicles of a similar size and weight. In a collision involving a large vehicle and a small vehicle, the large vehicle wins.

Nearly a decade ago, the IIHS performed a special series of crash tests to illustrate how the laws of physics impact vehicle safety.

The organization took three small cars that earned top crash-test ratings, and crashed them into midsize cars made by the same car company. In every test, the larger car did a better job of protecting its occupants than did the smaller car.

If safety is important to you, you want to buy the heaviest vehicle you can. Just keep in mind that heavier vehicles also tend to consume more gas. And they still need to get top-notch crash-test ratings.

Low center of gravity is better

I know what you’re thinking. If a heavier and newer vehicle is safest, then I need a big truck or SUV.

Another factor you must consider is a vehicle’s rollover resistance rating. Both the NHTSA and the IIHS rate vehicles for their likelihood to roll over. Rollover accidents can happen due to sudden steering inputs, sliding on wet or icy roads and then hitting dry pavement, sliding off the road or into a curb, or a collision.

Last but not least newer is better than old of course
