Safety Rating of a 1971 Bug?

As a comparison to todays cars they get an F. That being said there are realities to consider. There were millions of the bugs made and yeah there were a lot of accidents just like any other car. Millions of these cars survive today having had no accidents at all. Just like all cars. Statistically speaking the further from home the less likely you are to be in a fatal crash. The first line of defense in any car is an alert driver that drives with the awareness that all others are blind idiots.. Dropping the front spindles gives the car a neat look but can also affect handling in a negative way. The vast majority of accidents are from two things driver error and bad tires and brakes. You already have the car so drive it and have fun.
