Bakit nga ba nasa driver side lang ang single airbag equipped vehicles?

[pup2]

Karamihan sa Vans at entry-level MPV's ay isa lang ang airbag. Ang tanong, bakit sa driver's side ito nakalagay samantalang older studies I know of show na mas delikado yung sa passenger's side?!

Just me guessing here..Since theres only 1 airbag installed...The probability of someone sitting on the passenger side compared to the driver is far less. 100% lagi may driver..passenger...maybe 75% of the time?? Does it make sense.

ganito din ang nasa isip ko

isnt it because your face is closer to the steering wheel than a passengers face is to the dash board?so then you will need the airbag to prevent you from hitting the steering wheel. while the seat belt on the passenger side will have prevented you from moving forward all the way to the dash board.. hmmmmm... just my thoughts....

[_Qwerty_]

yup tama yun.. di naman parating may passenger.. pero parating may driver!

Manufacturer assuming that driver is always at risk whenever the car moved. Passenger can use seat belt to prevent ejecting to the dahboard and windshield. Most today's car are equiped with driver and passenger side airbags including side curtain airbags.

[russpogi]

...because the driver's seat is the most occupied seat in the vehicle.

Wala naman kasing steering wheel sa passenger side. AFAIK mas malapit yung manibela sa ulo ng tao kesa sa dashboard.

mas mapapamahal ang halaga ng sasakyan pag nadagdagan ng passenger side, curtain airbags... makikita mo lang mga iyan sa mga high-end na cars.

at sa manufacturer/importer, mas lalaki ang PROFIT nila... (wala naman kasi batas natin na maging mandatory sa pag install ng mga safty devices tulad ng airbags, ABS, EBD, EBS, ETC... lahat na iyan ay optional lang... unlike sa United States at Europe standard equipment)

simple lang sagot diyan...

if you bought a car na may single-driver-side airbag lang then that means you're a "can afford" lang and most likely will be driving it yourself. So mas madalas kang behind the wheel

but if you are a "really can afford", then malamang yung budget mo is enough to buy you a really nice car with the proper number of airbags and will most likely even afford to have a driver hehe

Not necessarily sir. The 2006 Isuzu D-max 4X2 LS was priced at just a little over 900k, not really top-of-the-line but it has Dual AirBags (driver and front passenger side). It is the "proper number" for a pick-up truck as far as I know.

siguro dapat lang. alangan namang me airbag sa passenger tapos sa driver wala. di naman siguro tatakbo ang sasakyan kung pasahero lang ang nakasakay sa kotse.
