Just your form of writing then ...

If you know it's coming you don't need to "dodge" nor could it ever be fatal

Besides the complex air bag standards are necessary in the big trucks where seats can be very close or very far away from dash etc etc. The bags in the Elise are fine and safe enough for drivers with common sense. I hope they only ever try selling Lotus or Tesla to sensible people

oh and they've already crash tested 5 or 6 of these. So "production" has started !
