I live in the mountains, and it's not the First Impact I worry about, which is all the airbags are good for. I want all the chance I can get to maneuver, and I certainly don't want to be blinded at the first tap. (nor startled by the BANG). Of course, I also dislike the "passive" seatbelts that are always in the way when you get in, but have no waist belt for real protection (only a shoulder harness and knee pads). I think the move to requiring seat belts in all cars was a good one, and the adjustable waist/shoulder combination is good (the ones which don't need an impact to test). Why coudn't they stop there? Oh, well. Zhahai Stewart (ucbvax, allegra)!nbires!zhahai
