A while back, we ran a call where a car had rear ended a tractor trailer. The car was traveling at about 50 MPH when it hit the truck, which was just starting to move at a traffic light. From the look of the car, we expected major injuries to the driver, at the least.how do i find out how many points i have in traffic citations?
When we got to the car, there was no one in it. After a quick search to be sure, we asked the bystanders if anyone had seen the driver. A man walked up and said that he was driving the car. He had no injuries, other than some minor skin irritation from the air bag!

read consumer reports. i know for a fact they not only work but save lives. I worked in a hospital for 16 years and was interactive with the emergency room staff, as well as the radiology dept.

I know they work. the only reason for that is, is because one of my best friends got into a car accident a while back. She said that if she wouldn't have had an air bag she would be dead. well she was also wearing her seat belt to. so that helped her a little more. we need air bags for those who don't use their seat belts. i guess it helps them from not flying out of the ire car. The only thing with air bags i have noticed with my friend is that they leave burn marks on your arms, sometimes face, and on your legs if you are only wearing shorts or have holes in your pants. i hope that answered your question.sincerely
