just to answer the original question about inspection. it says in your profile that you're in nyc. in new york state (eazy, this is for you too) air bags means absolutely nothing for inspection. neither does abs. they both don't matter.
Well, most people should remember what my last car looked like after my accident. Short version for those who don't: I flipped it onto it's top into a creek, hitting the creek bed w/the front bumper, then flipping.
I always wear my seatbelt when I drive and my air bag DID deploy...tho I certainly don't REMEMBER it deploying. It never touched me that I can recall. I know that it was very dark and once I got out of the car, Jacob had asked me if the airbags deployed and I said no. Once it was daylight, I was proved wrong. I got flung around pretty hard inside the car and IMO, the only things that saved me were my seatbelt and roll cage.

ok well hey im 17 and in missouri and a car will not pass inspection without the airbags that have been put in the vehicals well thats what the inspection guy told me and the thing with insurance i have American Family and they give a discount for airbags like they have the muti car discount but they have airbag discounts so with my insurance company they dont have problem with the airbag thing but its the inspection but next year im moving to Kansas and i hear that u dont have to have an inspection there so thats when i will do away with the airbags and i wrecked my truck with i know isnt a car but i wrecked my truck and i hit a ditch that was about 5 ft. deep like head on doing like 45 and it didnt deploy eaither airbag so i dont like the airbag idea
id be very surprised if your insurance company didnt care about your lack of airbags. most likely what will happen is that if you are in an accident and you do any sort of damage to yourself or your passanger insurance will void the claim because you willfully removed your air bag system. and insurance company will get out of paying out for claims if they have to, and removing airbags gives them a great ability for voiding yoru claim so if you do that i'd specifically call your insurance company and get it in writing. just calling up some guy there and him saying its okay wont matter down the line if you dont get it in writing.

this whole topic annoys me how it got off the origional question, and into "durr im a complete dumbazz and think that car manufacturers spent tons of money and ressearch on safety devices for nothing, theyre useless" i want every single one of you people who say "the big exploding bag" is useless and doesnt save lives... or bitch about burns, bruises or MAYBE a broken nose, when u know damn well it would have been worse had the bag not been there.... crystal, you flipped ur car and all, so maybe where it wasnt a head on car stopping collision, the air bag wasnt what saved your life and i remember the roll cage controversy and all that... but anywho... all of you who think theyre useless and dont do a damn thing... i want each of you to drive head on with the other people who said the same thing.... one without an airbag, and one with... BECUASE YOUR MENTALITY ON SAFETY DEVICES THAT ARE ON VEHICLES MAKES ME FEEL NO REMORSE FOR SAYING THIS. you are all misinformed, naive, immature, completel STUPID people.....

I called wsp cause I live in Washington and they told me you cant take off your airbag. Its called defective equipment ticket. $101 not a bad ticket but if you get it here for that they will tow your car because they say it is unsafe to drive. I asked about other states and they said contact the national traffic safety commission and she said its a federal law to keep them in. However she said if there is a medical problem you can apply for a cut off switch so it wont deploy when turned off.
hell my 83 ford f250 doesn't have any air bags (came that way from the factory) it passed the safety with flying colors. so i can't see why my car won't pass either when shes ready for the road again. im in ontario btw.
IF IT'S OEM EQUIPED WITH ANY SRS SYSTEMS, THEY MUST STAY THERE, THATS WHY.....

its called a grandfather clause. if it came without airbags before the law was passed then they can't force you to put them in. but if your car came with them and you removed them. thats a completly diffrent issue.

The Federal Government doesn't have the authority to enforce this (after you have bought a personal vehicle). Does no one stay awake in government class? Do they even have government classes anymore? Or are people just idiots who like living on their knees?

depends on state.....PA does not care if you remove them. its your life, end it how you want is how they see it, its why you don't need a motorcycle helmet either (assuming you have a licnece and 2 years experince) the only reason they require seatbelts is that if you are ejected from a car you become a flying projectile and could hurt someone else

as said above the state might not care but your insurance will. even a short stay of a couple days in the hospital can run you a few thousand dollars easy. might suck to find out after it happens that insurance isnt paying you a dime.

well i know in ny, my insurance company just slightly upped my premium when i pulled the driver side bag. however being a firefighter/paramedic and seeing more car accidents than any of you guyz have ever heard of i know that air bags do save lives in vehicles that have stock seat belts. however one of the only reasons i replaced my wheel is b/c i have a full 10 pt roll cage w/bride seats and a corbeau 5pt harness, every time i get in the car the first thing i do is hook at least 4 out of the 5pts and tighten the straps usually the only time i use the crotch strap is when i plan on pushin the car. b/c if the arness is adjusted correctly he oly way your face is goin o ht the wheel is if the wheel get pushed in that far and in that case airbag or no airbag, it doesnt matter. personally from a professional standpoint i would not recomend an aftermarket wheel to anyone without a proper 4pt harness setup that is ALWAYS WORN AND ADJUSTED PROPERLY. but i know that some of you wont listen no matter what anyone says so at least get the airbag elim. module and be safe
many changes in the making

It was head on...I went over a creek bank and the front nose of the car hit the creek bed (apparently causing the air bags to deploy) and then it teetered over onto its' top.

ok WTF inspections are you talking about none of mine or my familys cars have been inspected and like Mike Brock said govt. cant control what you do to your car other than emissions and things that would harm OTHER PEOPLE removing your airbag hurts you not the other people driving and as soon as i find the hub adapter and a nice wheel i am swaping them out . oh and im not a misinformed, naive, immature, complete STUPID person either, if you want to be protected by an airbag on the drivers side keep them in your car doubt you'll be driving mine any time soon, my safety not your .
people think airbags them self are a primary safety feature. me being a fireman/emt i always wear my seatbelt and will never get rid of my air bag equipped steering wheel. no matter how ugly it looks. seatbelts save lives. seatbelts. airbags are a secondary safety feature that works with the seatbelts. if your not wearing a seatbelt and that bag goes off, your going to cause way more damage than you think.
i have racing harness' in my car and i have that on before the key is turned, and being harness' i dont move any where so i wouldnt hit the steering wheel anyways i still have the airbag but when i find a hub adapter its gone
wow..all this arguing..lol..im a state inspector so how about my .02? ive inspected cars for 3 different states..and NONE of them required airbags to be in the car..we werent even required to look..hell,most inspectors dont know each and everycar and dont know if it came with them or not or where they were suppose to be anyway..like mentioned before its a SECONDARY safety device.....
that being said...i road shotgun with a friend once,with no seatbelt on,guy ran a stop sign and we tboned him at 55mph....air bag saved my life ,literally...it screwd my face up but saved my life...i STILL dont like airbags but im glad it was there i guess all i can say is..if you dont like airbags WEAR YOUR SEATBELT OR MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND GOD before you drive

i pulled my bags out and always wear my harness
weel they must not have those inspections that your all talking about in Michigan because i've never seen or heard of them and the only thing that does get inspected is your harness if you get pulled over,,because they have to be replaced every 2 year not sure why
Move to F.L.
NO EMISSIONS LAW!!!
Most of the local cops in my town cant pass emissions
no head light,cats all muffed up ill get a pic of the county cop car grave yard.
were not talking about emissions,, talking about aftermarket steering wheels
Ok, so who here honestly modifies their cars to be 100% legal?
If you get a ticket, just put the factory one back on, or pay the ticket.
If you can't get past a state DMV Check, than put the factory one back on.
If your warranty don't like it, than put the factory one back on (before you take it in for repair work)
Hell, if i stayed in state laws for my car, than it would be 100% stock.

I'm pretty sure I have. I don't see why it should be necessary to do otherwise.
