So my DD rear ended someone tonight. She drives a 2003 VW Beetle. She was only going around 20mph, it was in bumper to bumper traffic and the person in front stopped quickly and well you know kids, she was travelling too close and hit her. The other persons car had some scratches on the back but she basically took our info and drove away. Meanwhile, police had DD's car towed because the passenger side air bag deploying and her front end was smushed in a little. Although my mechanic said it will probably be totalled because of the air bag coming out and it being too much to fix and how the front end was hit :-(.
Is it odd that the passenger side air bag deployed when she didn't have a passenger, but her air bag on the drivers side didn't? Could it have been defective or is that normal? She didn't need it but I just found it odd that the one side came out and her's didn't. I guess I'm thinking maybe this is a blessing in disguise if she had gotten in a more serious accident and the air bag didn't deploy to protect her.
Wonder if anyone had any thoughts on this? Thanks.
