i have never seen a smart car in the freeway. i then came to the conclusion that if it were to be hit by another car at such a fast speed it would be dangerous since it's so small. also, how fast do they go?|||Sure, why not? It is capable of over 90 mph, and it has a better passenger protection cage than almost every other car on the road. They drive them on the Autobahn in Germany without any problem. Mind you, German drivers are better trained and tested, and there is not a single inch of highway in Canada or the US that is built to even the absolute minimum standards that the oldest stretch of the Autobahn had to meet.
By the way, dieterzakas, the Smart Car didn't have any trouble with the US safety standards, which happen to be lower than Canada where the Smart Car has sold for several years. The US didn't allow the diesel engine model to be sold.|||The Smart Car, while popular in Europe for a long time, couldn't be imported here because it did not meet U.S. safety standards. Since its redesign, it's here, having seen a couple locally.
Given that they now meet stringent safety requirements, you ought to be able to drive one on the freeway.|||Here in the united state it doesn't matter how small the vehicle is as long as it can drive the min . speed of 45 MPH.What i know of them , i wouldn't want to drive it on the big highways, i believe it would be dangers to do so.|||The top speed of the smart fortwo is 90 mph (Electronically limited).
It feels sable and safe at right up to the top speed, I see smartfortwo on the highway all the time.
