When the airbag deploys, a large amount of the dust is blasted into the mouth, nose and throat of the driver. IF the cops take him in to blow into the Intoxilyser, some of the dust particles can go into the machine. This can cause the machine to read much higher than it should. The intoxilyser reads anything that blocks it's light source as alcohol. This is incorrect, and probably leads to many false convictions.Keaaukanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14157511865405417114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-59330996736425952442017-11-01T13:56:46.344-04:002017-11-01T13:56:46.344-04:00 My friend Rob works at a wrecking yard and he use...

At the GM dealership we had to discharge any airbags sent in for warranty. Damn things lift about 6 feet high when they blow unrestrained. Quite the blast and quite a dust cloud too.<br />I understand they do save lives but so does limb amputation and I am not a fan of either.<br />w3skiw3skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993709956954374919noreply@blogger.com
