I am father of 3 kids and getting real paranoid & protective lately

I have a question for y'all

When you drive on the road and see Honda Odyssey Mini Van

Do you normally drive cautious around it because you assume there are kids in it

or

Do you drive aggressive around it and not give a flying F

Just statistically wondering if I have better chance not getting hit driving Mini Van than sedan or suv out there for road awareness

Thank you for your time

Update* no this is not joke - Im dead serious

I think it really is tough to answer the way you've written it. If you're forced to drive in dangerous situations around dangerous people who you can't avoid, then I don't think you're asking the right questions, and vehicle considerations aren't going to help much. Otherwise, I think others are the wrong thing to focus on. How you drive matters more than how others do (unless as above the majority are a problem), and that starts with giving yourself enough time that you can slow down to avoid problem drivers if you need. I think what vehicle is safest is a tough question to answer. It can depend on so many factors. You can look up safety ratings. But it also matters what you're most comfortable with, and what features you'd get, or be able to get on the vehicles from wherever you're purchasing it from. Test drive anything you're considering in relation to your concerns.

What are you asking? For permission to run someone over?

Dude! Get help!

I'm one of those boring people that doesn't go over the speed limit and follows the rules of the road. I don't assume passengers in a car though, I tend to try to not hit any car regardless. Those "baby on board" and family stickers on the back of car windows do grab my attention though.

I don't need to read the description: the answer is 'y̴͎͌͂͊͂̓͘͝e̷̛̦̟͓͑͑̃̀̈́̉s̷̢̡̢͉̤̲̑', escalate.

Well, it REALLY DEPENDS...

Was the driver of that Honda Odyssey Mini Van driving like an idiot?

if NOT, then I guess there is no problem.

I buy large vehicles solely because I have a better chance of surviving a crash. I drive carefully, period. Your chosen vehicle is irrelevant.

I am speeding up, making a u turn, then getting into a head on collision

I drive safe and normal around every vehicle like most responsible drivers...

I don't care what the ♥♥♥♥ people drive.

I care how they drive.

He's been given a jester reward for his profile so yeah probably.
But he plays and enjoys Halo and most Halo Fans are around 33-48 at this point.

Cause if I was under the age of 10 when Halo 3 came out and discovered Halo 3 a few years after discovering it by seeing two trailers I seen downloaded on my cousin's xbox 360...

Yeah he maybe not lying as well.
It's a 50/50 on this one chief.

...Also given the state of the world right now... this wouldn't be the stupidest place to ask for advice.

Cause that place is still called 4Chan with Twitter planning to take it's crown for itself.

In all honestly OP.
Just don't park your ****ing van where it is unsafe for your kids or just take them with you when going on a trip.
While equipping with a trusty sidearm incase someone tries to threaten your family or mug you with your family.

Even if it is a joke (Which it might be) your still demeaning actual families with concerns for the safety of their children and might think it would be a good idea to as off topic on steam's platform for help due to using it a lot since... well you already how long you've been on here.
In which case shame on you cause 12 years and still acting like a manchild is the reason why Captain Hook died by Robin Williams.

Because only actual scum would believe violating driving safety laws for sh*ts and giggles would be considered funny.
...We literally had a marching parade cast being run over by a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of a man which costed a few peoples lives to be lost.
And we all know the language of the dead is silence so unless you want to sh*t talk towards a gravestone like a schizo then go nuts.

...Also the only reason I'd hit the van if I ever encounter it while driving is if I wasn't paying attention to the road (which I should be doing at all times cause I do not want to die in a car accident and become another statistic on a ever growing number) or my car decided to break all of a sudden and I'm in a real life QTE which the consequence of failing will end someone's life involved.

As long your car isn't big enough to get hit and the road is full of responsible drivers.
You'll be fine. Also depending on where you live exactly the chances are either low or high... and my guess is that you're living near a small town that is near a big city so you wouldn't have too much fear and problems about crashing with your kids.

...Just be careful when it starts getting icy though. Cause that'll will make you have be even more cautious as a result... and I don't know how wheels on ice or slippery surfaces work so just hope someone salts the roads for when it happens...

I just hope that the weather is accurate as many lives are on the line due to the many inaccuracies this year's summer has been.

I just drive normally .... it's not that someone has kids in the car he/she hasn't got an obligation to drive carefully or park normally

Don't really care if it's Honda odyssey or Bat mobile. Hell I wouldn't be able to know which one is honda odyssey.

Have no reason to drive aggressively.
