Safety of humans vs safety of letters ๐ค
I'd argue that the people running into mailboxes with their cars are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers so it is best for them to get a proper dent and learn to be more careful.
They will still get a dent, just not potentially die from high speed impact.
if they drive at a speed where hitting a mailbox is deadly, then they are at least double over the speed limit, or the speed limits in the US are insane in residential areas.
cars are designed to absorb collisions, they can cry about it
