I just wanted to protect my children from other drivers...

It's very safe for the 1.2 people inside the car. But for the 8 billion people outside of it, it's their problem I guess.

I mean sure if they previously drove a motorcycle I could understand this argument but I drive a tiny fiat 500e and I've been hit by a car...who had road rage and you know what? 0 injuries. Modern cars are incredibly safe and moreso because they have less MASS.
