Does the deployment of car airbags count as a major accident?
1 Answers
Deploying car airbags counts as a major accident. Reasons why airbag deployment is considered a major accident: Car airbags are a safety protection device designed to minimize passenger injuries when the vehicle experiences severe impacts. Therefore, airbags only deploy in emergency situations, specifically when the vehicle undergoes intense collisions to protect passengers. Compared to other malfunctions, airbag deployment is classified as a major accident. Methods to avoid accidents while driving: Do not rush through intersections, especially when making right turns. In many cities, right turns do not have traffic signals, and drivers often proceed directly. However, adjacent non-motorized lanes may have cyclists or electric scooter riders who may not strictly follow traffic rules or assume drivers would not dare to hit them. Therefore, when approaching a right-turn intersection, always stop to let pedestrians pass first or carefully observe the situation in the right-side non-motorized lane. Never rush for that one minute.
