It is a risk, yes. But it's a cost/benefit tradeoff.

I use my Honda for commuting 45KM round trip to work in outskirts of Vancouver. The cost for using my Honda is I am my prone to injury should I get in an accident. I drive carefully and responsibly (as do most others) and estimate my risk (cost) to be minimal.

The benefit is decreased fuel and maintenance costs. The Honda is WAY cheaper to operate vs the Volvo. A few contributing factors in my case include expensive Volvo anything in our area + the Accord is older and will not depreciate any more.

My wife uses the Volvo to cart the kids around. For that, I'm happy to spend the extra $$ to have her in a safe vehicle.
