Definately not safer. The guy with the s/c black firebird side swiped my g/fs car when she was sitting in the staging lanes. His trailor was just to big to fit through where he was going. Sad thing is he had a guy directing him and still hit her.
He said he would fix it but refused to show us his insurence card. So much for being safer. Nothing like sitting your car just to have someone hit you.
