Could give a rat's ass about air bags or even seat belts for that matter. I just follow some simple rules that have gotten me to over a quarter of a century of driving with no accidents and no citations. I'm not saying I drive 55 in th fast lane. I drive at safe speeds up to 100+ mph if conditions permit. First of all I never drive in the #1 lane on highways or the super slab. That is where you get ticketed and that is where some yahoo comes through the divider from the other side and takes yoy out. I also never drive with knats. That is a group of drivers who don't know each other but insist on driving together in a tight group. When one knat screws up, they are all in trouble. I never let some A-Hole ride on my rear quarter. I turn on my signal to take his lane which P*sses him off and causes hom to speed ahead of me. I then turn off my signal. I always leave myself an exit in any situation. This has saved me twice where I was able to scoot out of the way and watch all the other cars pile up. I constantly check my rear view mirror so I know what's going on behind me. Stupid drivers are oblivious to their rear view mirror. That action alone saved the life of a man and his family about a year ago 20 miles from where I live. Road construction brought traffic to a hault. A guy in a van was watching his rear view to make sure everyone else was stopping. He could see that a semi wasn't so he pulled out of line and the semi slammed into the pickup in front of him killing the driver instantly. I also pretend that I'm invisible. That has saved me from many accidents. Most of you live in states with courteous drivers and don't have as much concern, but I live in a state which has the most inconsiderate A-Hole drivers in the world.
