"I'd prefer to drive something that is nimble and able to avoid the accident all together. Which is why my daily driver is a powerful sports sedan, rather than a lumbering crew cab 8 foot bed dually. I chuckle when I see people commuting in these things."
My 6.7 F350 may not be great on turning, but it is amazingly powerful and accelerates very quickly. If you haven't driven one you'd be surprised. And that is in the detuned mode, push a button on the dash and it's capable of laying a strip of rubber down the road.
I think most accidents come from lack of attention by a driver. And that driver may not be you, someone runs a stop sign/light right in front of you for example. Or a wasp gets in the cab and stings you on the nose. Nimbleness probably isn't going to save you from a lot of accidents.
