IMO, the factors in car crashes:
- road awareness - paying attention to what's going on.
- vehicle quickness - different from speed and coupled with 1st point.
- target size - this is where a small car has an advantage. -

Combining the above factors can allow to avoid being tagged by somebody else - or at least minimize the damage from the other drivers carelessness.
