Airbag decceleration sensors are usually mounted in the cabin of the car. Under the dash, its not like a airbag push button behind the bumper.

I have a mate in the US who hit a block of concrete that fell off the back of a truck on the freeway. He hit it in his new 33Ci with the LHS wheels and his aribags went off even though the bumper was not touched.

Ripped the front wheel off though.

It is law in all states that trucks must have an "anti-decapitation" bumper built beneath their tray.

The fact that this truck doesn't and also that the airbag didn't deploy certainly makes habib a lucky guy.

It's funny how some speedos get stuck - mine didn't. Did yours Ivan?

I didn't notice to tell you the truth. And we'll never find out either :lol:

I think it's amazing that someone could drive any car without insurance. Pure stupidity.

Considerably worse than choosing not to be insured is to pay the insurance premiums and NOT be covered by your insurance. As an example, check some of these reasons from AAMI for NOT being covered..

AAMI Comprehensive Car Insurance Policy

If you value your insurance coverage, check your policy and comply or risk losing your cover.

Safe and happy driving...Dr Z. :kissmy:

Why is it that all the boyz who drive the rex's and the skylines... why is it they can't string a single sentence togther and seem to have a collective IQ of about 25?

And this guy with no insurance... he hasn;t got a bloody brain.

Yeah... very lucky to not be seriously injured. I didn't quite get the story though... did he say the truck was stationary? I would have thought that hitting a stationary truck at 100kph and having no driver's airbag deploy would have been the right cocktail for guts all over the windshield?!?

I'm no accident investigation guru, but something doesn't add up with this story.

- if the truck was stationery there would be alot more damage than that, and one corpse

- how can the gauges remain where they are? Being electronic then they would all fall to zero when power is lost - unless there is a feature that freezes them in their current state, and what would you hook this up to if this is the case - probably the air bag sensor!

- if insurance was an issue then obviously money is tight, but how many banks will give you a loan without siting a certificate of currency?

OK, I'm just being a pesimistic *beep* and probably had a few too many, but WTF???
