Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle a ran a red light while being distracted by putting on her shoe and ran a red light at the intersection. Vehicle b crashed into the side of the vehicle a and vehicle b has body damage to front bumper fenders and hood and body rails. Vehicle b was totaled out by the insurance co. No air bags deployed in neither vehicle. Mileage was around 25-30 miles per hour and no one was seriously hurt. Why have air bags for safety if they do not deploy? Need stiffer penalties for distracted driving, driver a was cited for running the red light. …”
