From an accident perspective yes. I avoid downtown as much as possible these days and drive very defensively. From a crime perspective the car gives you added protection. You’re better off locked in your car than standing alone waiting for public transportation.

It’s actually not as clear cut. Cars are targets for carjacking, and people will assume you have $ if you’re getting out of a nice car. In Baltimore the perception is, if you’re taking public transit, you’re probably poor.
