Re: How Far away from Airbag/steering wheel??

yea, he has a point. I would say sit to where you feel comfortable, but keep in mind that if you do get in a bad wreck *knock on wood* that air bag doesn't quite hold up to how it sounds. don't think of it as a bag of air, think of it as a cinderblock. The thing has the capability of really messing you up.. and it comes out really fast. also keep in mind that the air in the air bag isn't nice normal outside air, its exhaust from your car. Thats how the term bag burn was made. Many ppl have gotten sevear burns from the air bag that saved thier lives. Pretty much just sit so your not crouching over the steering wheel. A good way to look at it is drive where you hold on to the steering wheel with your arms straight. That also has been tested and proven to help your responce time to evasive manuvers.
