> The point I’m trying to make is… I got extremely lucky I’m able to type this post and read your comments… I don’t want to have someone else pull out in front of me like that again and if the airbags are defective me not be able to question the fact because I’m DEAD!!! My kids don’t want to have some 3rd party company pull the info off the black box and find out their mother would still be here if her $60,000 car had worked the way it was supposed to… I DON’T want to die the next time…

I don’t either. I have always driven older cars with minimal safety features, and realize that luck plays and important part in this. Case in point, I was driving my 1991 Toyota Tercel back in 2004, and a lady driving a Ford Windstar van ran a stop sign and pulled out right into my path. I was going about 55-60 MPH, and the Tercel was completely destroyed on impact, yet somehow I walked away without any injury, and the driver who I hit was seriously injured. The Tercel had a terrible safety rating, even in its day, and no airbags or other protective features. It was considered a death trap, even by 1990’s standards.

Of course, I always wear my seat belt (it was actually two separate seat belts in the Tercel) and that helps improve your odds a lot. Now, I try to be a lot more careful and anticipate people who are going to pull out or left-turn into my path, so I can hit the brake, rather than hitting them. Also, when the light turns green, I always hesitate a little bit, until my peripheral vision sees the oncoming traffic has stopped. Especially since I drive old cars without all the high-tech safety features.
