Nottingham City Buses (one of the few still owned by the council)
presumably use this system, as they have no "insurers". A friend was
rear ended by one, and drove round to the nearest depot to complain.
The foreman mathced the bolt pattern on a spare bus (all their double
deckers are Volvo buses, very unusual)to the marks on the car, and wrote
a cheque for the damage.

Surely this has to be a troll?

Doesn't think air bag is useful, doesn't have insurance.

If he doesn't have insurance (assuming it is a legal requirement - which
is in pretty much most places) then why is he worried about it passing
the local equiv of the MOT?

And whilst I'm replying, I assume he also thinks seatbelts are not
really that useful either since cars never had them in the past, why
bother fitting them now?!

BTW Andy, if you want to disable the airbag just drive head-on into a
brick wall at 40mph, that should sort it out for you.

The IP addy he's posting from is allocated to Southern Tablelands
Electricity in New South Wales, Australia. Hence my references to the
Aussie regulations (and the fact they require compulsory insurance just
as the UK do). The Aussie connection actually explains quite a lot
about his attitude and apparent IQ.

not sure about the crown vehicles, but the council vehicles are in the
legislation too - they don't have insurance, or rather, I suppose, they are
their own insurers. same applies to police and fire vehicles I think, and
the military.

the 500,000 thing only applies to you, driving your vehicle, BTW. AFAICS it
doesn't apply to other drivers.

have to admit that my favoured technique if I wanted to disable an airbag
would be to trigger the sod - either by tracking down the wiring that does
it or finding the sensor and giving it a suitable clout. I don't think I'd
resort to brick walls.

Just a gentle trans-Tasman dig. People like Energizer Bunny redress the
balance nicely.
