My sister was hit head on by a guy who crossed over the line on a windy mountain road. Nothing she could have done to avoid it. She was hospitalized, but her seat belt, the padded dash, and the collapsible steering column made her injuries much less severe. Nader didn't invent any of those things, but his consumer advocacy made them standard in modern cars.
I still wouldn't vote for him. He's a professional pain in the ass.
