Will there be any way to special order police vehicles without the airbag systems?
Can the installation of push bumpers on the front end of the vehicle affect the deployment of an airbag?
Is there a problem with transporting a front seat passenger who has their hands restrained behind their body?
Can conditions encountered in aggressive pursuit driving situations (e.g., high speed braking, uneven road surfaces) cause inadvertent inflation of an airbag that might result in loss of vehicle control?
