federal law requires air bags and state laws do not override them.it is illegal to disconnect the air bag unless you can prove a medical reason and apply for a waiver from the feds.it is a 2500.00 fine and prison time to violate it and the info is on the nhtsa site

You do not want to disable the driver side airbag. They only cause deaths when you sit much too close to them (closer than a foot from them is not recommended), or if you are extremely short and light (smaller than the average 12 year old. Airbags prevent a lot more injuries than they cause and if they came with your vehicle you are not supposed to remove them.

Not sure, but I know you're supposed to disconnect the passenger side airbag if you have a child or infant riding in the front (like in a pick-up truck).

It's verry incridible action because the air bag is making you more safely if you got accident

Airbags are supplemental restraint systems, and are not required in any state. You can legally disconnect your airbag.

If you do and are involved in an accident, your insurance will not pay!
