"My husband and I had just read that in a head-on collision the one going the faster gets off easier"


I hope that was supposed to be a joke. A head-on collision is a terrible thing. Do anything you can (brake, turn sideways, change lanes, go off the road) to avoid being in one.

And the faster you are going, the worse it will be, because the speed of your car translates to energy which damages the car and injures your body.

As for statistics, I've always wondered how anybody knows that no two snowflakes are alike.
