How fast do you think you can disapparate?  Seems to me if you're 
magical, and you realize your car is speeding toward a cliff, you 
could just disapparte out of there.  Or, why wouldn't you just put an 
anti-crash spell on the car -- the Knight Bus sure seems to have 
one.  Wizards don't even know what guns are, I remember someone 
calling them "a kind of wand that Muggles use to kill each other," 
which suggests to me that they are useless in the magical world.  
Anyway, the point is, I totally agree with you Claire.
