Smart Passes a Roof Test

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rolled a Smart car in a roof test and released the results of the test with a "Good" rating for the Smart. This is somewhat comforting in case my car rolls off the road, but I'm more worried about a semi-truck accidentally driving over my car. This happened once while I was riding in a friend's car. Also, one of my former coworkers was pinned in a Toyota when a semi drove onto the hood at slow speed. I try to give semi-trucks a wide berth and avoid stretches of highway where they congregate. I'm sure they appreciate this, since they drivers probably hate having to scrape small cars off their grills.
