I tend to drive almost exclusively older cars. Once I had an accident in a 15 year old golf (this was around 2015 so the golf was made in around year 2000). This was basically emergency breaking on wet road at motorway speeds(about 130kph or 80mph)followed by loss of traction, then some sideways sliding finished with head on smashing into a side barrier with enough force that the car ended in the middle of the road (it must have bounced, but I have to admit I can't remember the exact moment, I estimate it was probably still going at last 45kph 30mph when it hit). I was perfectly fine except loosing few seconds of time. I managed to jump out of the car and have enough presence of mind to drag it off to the side of the road before incoming traffic crashed into it(thankfully wheels were fine enough for this). The car was totaled, and I didn't even have a scratch. That's an example of now 20 year + car safety...
