Inhaling the dust is very dangerous.
In Australia there was a large company making wall sheeting and corrugated roof sheeting called "Fibro" which is asbestos cement, sawing and grinding this stuff produces a fine powder which if inhaled is dangerous.
There are millions of houses (made in the 1950s) in this country that have fibro walls and roofs and providing you don't go around grinding and sniffing them it is completely safe, in fact a lot of those houses collect rainwater from the roofs today.
The government have panicked and decided we can't be trusted to handle it properly, consequently we now have "blanket" protection even though most vehicle asbestos is in areas that are not easily accessed.
There are lots of other things in cars that are dangerous and have to be handled properly,.... acid, petrol is carcenagenic, coolant additives, oil.
Fortunately we are civilised enough to know what not to eat or sniff (breathe).
We are lucky to have governments looking after us eh!
