No, you cannot be as safe as you like.  For this, you would need the
ability to restrict usage of unsafe features.  Just because you also
have safe features at your disposal does not force you to use them.

Your sentence should read: in C++, despite all the high-level
features, you can be as unsafe as you like because the compiler will
let you.
