    The answer is obvious. However, one must consider that not all drivers are the same size. Some airbags kasi are "standard" for average builds of drivers. Smaller people may have a higher risk of injury to airbags because they will tend to sit closer to the wheel.

    They're a good safety device (especially with the new two-stage airbags), but sadly, not all people can afford airbag-equipped vehicles.

    It's good, though, that they're finding their way onto cheaper and cheaper vehicles.

    I think it should be mandatory that all new cars come with airbags, every driver/passenger on the road is entitled to benefit from safety features such as airbags.

    I also tend to agree that airbags should be made mandatory (maybe like the seatbelt law). Although doing this will most likely jack up the prices of base models.
