Airbags!?!
Airbags!?! Okay, so I rearended somebody and my airbags went off, which was about the only damage (bent bumper and hood) and the insurance company totaled it.
I was wondering if I have to put airbags back in it (around $1800) to make it street legal again?
I was told that it only had to pass inspection to get a salvaged title and become street legal again. Does anyone know anything about this. I live in NC. Help would be appreciated.

I don't buy it. I have been hit by the air bags twice. Once was a fairly low speed hit, the other was a pretty bad head on accident. I wasn't even wearing a seat belt during the bad one. If it hadn't been for the air bags my face wouldn't look the same today. Any burns that I received from the bags were nothing more than a minor irritation. I was a little sore from both hits, but considering that one of them could have changed my life forever makes a fair trade in my eyes.

The way I see it, if I wreck to where that steering wheel is coming through my chest or face, that Air Bag is not stopping it.
And I read your post and I will say this, wear your Seat Belt atleast.

If you wear your Seat Belt, you are reducing the injuries that can be sustained in a wreck. I am not saying eliminating, there is still a possibility in anything that you will get a little fucked up. For those of us that wear Glasses, like myself, that bag is hitting them Glasses, and there is a good possibility that the Lenses fragment and go into your eyes. Also like mentioned before, it does burn when it comes out.

I must admit since I don't wear glasses, I didn't think about that. Like I said though, the burns that I received were nothing more than a minor irritation. To me it was like getting hit really hard with a big pillow.
I hope none of us need the air bags, but I wouldn't go around suggesting that anyone should unhook them.
BTW, that wreck was several years ago. I allways wear my seatbelt now.
