In 2014, the secret was to score quick enough that a safe zone wasn't needed.

Exactly what I meant by "may be". If a defender can steer you away from where you want to be, that might be as effective as stopping you where you are. Note also that you may be opening yourself up to being effectively defended via steering by robots which cannot generate enough force and drivers who do not have quite enough skill to effect a T-bone against you.
