Don't judge a car's safety by how it survives a crash! All new cars are designed to crush in a crash to absorb the impact energy so as not to transmit in into the passenger compartment. An older car hitting a newer car will usually result in severe damage to the newer car. The logic is a car is repairable-replaceble but is is much cheaper to reduce the injuries to the occupants then have less damage to the vehicles. Just look at a car after the rescuers cut a car open to make extrication without further injuries possible. If the car wasn't totaled in the accident it was after the first responders got through with it. The Delorean is a safe vehicle as far as it can be being a LOW, SMALL 2 door sports car. Please don't test it's crashworthiness, just be aware that it is not the most noticeable car on the road under most conditions, especially to that SUV with the person on the cell phone! One thing you could add to help is a third brake light on the rear louvre.
