- Sarasota , FL, USA
Was driving on highway at approximately 65mph when we were cut off by another vehicle. We drove off onto the shoulder to avoid the accident and started to slid sideways. As we corrected the vehicle we entered upon the pavement and corrected the sliding vehicle and was continuing to drive straight for about 3 seconds when the side airbag deployed. Tgere was no collision nor was the corrective move so erratic as to tip the vehicle.
