i suppose automobile airbags were developed after the emergency
inflatable slides that every airliners aircrafts nowadays are equipped

known to have killed and injured ground workers by accidental
deployments when the aircrafts were parked.

now imagine you're driving and, at the same time, sipping gourmet
coffee from a steel can

and the airbag deploys for no reason at all.. bwahahahaha... hello!!
are you alright? bwahahaha...

well... it's just that the airbags are designed upon the premises that
you always assume an appropriate driving posture and keep a safe
distance to the steering wheel.

but doing so is essential to a safe driving, in big cars, in small
cars, with airbags, with trash bags...

what do i have to say? keep your current car and save money, just wear
your seatbelt and be alert, turn off your radio, CD and cell phone, no
food and drink, anticipate foul moves, and you'll be driving like a
devil in the our murderous freeways and get home in one piece.

I have a 1991 Honda Civic and it runs well, but I feel like I should
probably buy a newer car with airbags for more safety in a crash.
Another reason I might want to buy another car is that mine is small.
A larger car would probably provide additional protection.  On the
other hand, if I keep my current car I'd save money.  Does anyone
think it's not necessarily worthy spending the money for a bigger car
with airbags?
