Crash @ approximately 45 miles per hour. T-boned a car that pulled in front of my car at a stop light. My car was totaled. My air bags did not go off. I feel that my injuries..of whiplash and another passengers would have been less or non existent if my air bags went off. Is this new air bag requirements really helping" or is it just trying to save insurance companies from totaling cars that air bags deploy? car will be signed off by tomorrow and insurance company will own the car. Does anyone care to look at this car and see if it failed"
