If you want to make cars safer remove the seat belts and air bags. Replace them with a 10 inch long stainless steel spike in the center of the steering wheel pointed at the drivers chest.

LOL - that's essentially the arrangement I had in my '66 MGB. The steering column was a piece of pipe. The dash was a relatively heavy gauge piece of stamped steel. And yes, while I drove it for fun, I was always cognizant of the risks involved which kept me from driving it beyond the capabilities of myself or the car.

Friends told me, "If you're in a bad accident, you'll be thrown out of that car." To which I replied that to the contrary, I would be pinned firmly to the dash like a butterfly specimen mounted in a glass display.

For the 18-wheeler, put the driver and controls
down on the front bumper.

You make a good point there. It certainly would work.

I learned to drive without power ANYTHING! No seatbelts. No padded dash or steering wheel. Also never had vax other than polio vax. Drank out of outdoor water hose. Didn’t have central heat or AC in OKLAHOM where it gets below zero in winter, above 100 in summer....

I think we were tougher back then and much more cautious...
