Yesterday on a drive in the Jag, we came across a yellow Reliant Robin buzzing along Hwy 25E, north of Knoxville near the Kentucky border. Didn't get a picture, but it looked to be in good shape; youngish guy driving it solo. Don't see those 'round here!

I've heard those things are monumentally unsafe and easy to turn over.

Largely as a result of an edition of Top Gear where they rolled one. What they don't tell you is what they deliberately did to make the car unstable!
They are a small, fibreglass-bodied car so don't have the collision protection of larger cars, but they are not nearly as bad as you have heard.
