1/1000 of a second... the bag shouldnt deploy below 15mph.Is it legal to change a 40mph limit to a 30mph limit without adding street lighting?
I have no idea. All I would say is - don't experiment to find out!take note of doctordog,he's got it right it is based on force of impact & speed of decelaration
Where are they finding parts for their cars....?
The airbag system does not measure speed. It measures severity and direction of impact (effectively deceleration), and deploys if the deceleration loads on the occupants are severe enough to warrant deployment.Someone parked my car in the evening in a garage, later in the morning I found that?
The UK insurance repairability test is a front-end full-width collision with a concrete barrier at 14mph, and the airbag system will be calibrated to not deploy in that collision to reduce repair costs. However it may deploy in a different 14mph collision, but may not deploy in a 25mph collision with a deformable object (a hedge, or a wire fence, or a soft part of another vehicle). What you hit, and at what angle, and with what off-set, is as much of a factor as the speed immediately prior to the impact.
Use of blue strobe flashing lights on your car on private property?
It is completely controlled by the rate of deceleration, but it's around 19mph if you hit a wall head on. If you hit a moving object (in either direction) the speed changes.hay mark i work for the highways agencey and i go to the most sereus R,T,A,S road traffic accidents its not the speed of the car mate all round the car is made of sensers and when they are hit with force it will send out the air bags in some cars you can actully turn off the air bags but the insurance company will go awoll if they found out when the air bags do come out it throws aload of white dust at you
