If larger vehicles make us feel safer inside them, do they also make us take more risks behind the wheel?

    I’m on a visit to the wine region around Adelaide, and am staying in Willunga. The trips I’m doing need a car, and the timing would be similar and the cost higher if I had flown to Adelaide and hired a car for the month

    And I couldn’t have seen the painted silos had I flown

    And I couldn’t have seen the sights of the great ocean road had I flown

    And road trips in an EV are quite nice.

    You can make good savings by not having a car at all, but that’s not possible outside Sydney and Melbourne and probably Hobart

      So I should spend more money and natural resources on an overpowered EV so I can save a little bit of money on a wine tour?

      Also, I’d just take the bus or train. I wouldn’t really fly domestically because planes suck.
