Smart Cars

I love the idea of a gas efficient vehicle to minimize the effect of the rising gas prices. I am not sure if the smart car is it for a traffic congested state such as Atlanta. Atlanta is at the bottom of the list for friendly walking states, need I say more. There aren't very menay sidewalks nor effective public transportation. Everyone seems to be in a hurry especially on the highways and no one wants to follow the speed limit. I can't imagine getting in a car accident with an SUV driving in a smart car. It almost feels like a toy car that truelly belongs in a country side town with a population of 500,000 people or less.
