From most of these accident its always human error rather than machine fault which is normally 5% of the probability. We always hear proton crashed and ppl die but less BMW crashed and ppl also die...its about statistics like you said earlier...Proton outsold BMW by a scale of 40:1 so the probability of a Proton being handle by a driver that do not 'know' what he/ she doing getting into this unwanted situation is higher...if you reverse the situation, then maybe you will hear a lot of BMW crash and ppl die...so while building a safer car saves life still you cannot remove the main variable from the safety equation which is the handler...crash test is made at speed deem to be common when drivers follow the speed limit...test results conducted at 60kmh is definitely not the same when the impact is at 120kmh as the damage factor is normally exponential of the speed...FYI, there is quite a number of e60 crash and the car caught fire and life lost...a product is as good as the target consumer willingness to pay...safety = money...Proton can make a car like a BMW but this is not the market they wan to be in...imagine a 300k Proton vs 300k BMW...your choice is quite clear right?</blockquote>
