Well, I'm sensitive to that too, since 5 months ago, an at-fault driver illegally entered an intersection that I had the full green on, and I hit, and rolled her minivan. Total damages was about $45,000, and thank God everyone, including my passenger, walked away with minor bruises (45 MPH relative speeds at impact). So, swap out my initial $10,000, for the $45,000. Everyone's wreck has their own costs... long story short, we throw massive weights around with immense kinetic energies when we push down on that accelerator.
