Don't have my Cobra yet but the same applies to riding my Harley. My wife sometimes gives me grief about the safety issue (which I actually appreciate that she cares - but I still want to go ride the thing). Once, I responded "maybe I should just stay in bed with the covers pulled up over my head". She got my point and off I went.

Seriously, from a safety perspective, Cobras are essentially 4 wheel motorcycles. The best thing you can do is to drive one with the same habits learned driving a motorcycle, like don't just take off when the light turns green - look both ways. Asume the driver up ahead is going to change lanes right into you - stay out of the blind spot or look for them to check their mirror or at least be ready to get out of their way. Assume that everyone at a side street is going to pull out in front of you and watch their wheel to detect that they are starting to move. Actually I drive mostly out in the country and will do the same with the Cobra. The biggest hazard is deer and I haven't figured out a good way to avoid that possibility. I think it will safer in the case of deer to have the seat belt/harness loose enough so I can duck!
