Why is it safer? Are you saying that you would otherwise overtake another car in an unsafe way, perhaps when you haven't enough visibility to check if there is no oncoming traffic for the overtake time? That's on you. The decision is the same, in a fast car or a slow one.
- comprev 4y agoA faster car allows you to safely overtake more frequently than a slow one because it requires less time (distance) to complete the accelerate/overtake/return operation. Many drivers in slow cars think they can execute the same manoeuvre as the fast car in front of them and this is when accidents happen - often fatal too.
- joosters 4y agoSo bad driving causes crashes? Who would that thought? It's not that the faster car is safer then, it's just the fact that if you try to overtake without sufficient room, you will be taking a risk. No-one is disputing that a faster car allows you to overtake faster.
