So this happened to me a few days ago and it was All caught on video thanks to my G1W Dash Cam.
I will just post the Description I posted on Youtube on here to go along with the Video.
Description:
So my girlfriend and I were driving home, when this 2002 BMW runs a red light and makes our cars collide. The BMW was speeding as well and going about 15-20mph over the speed limit which was 40mph so it was doing about 55 - 60mph. I also believe the driver was texting and driving because she said that her signal light was Green when it obviously was not (as seen in the video) for at least 10 seconds. The BMW looks like it should be totaled from the crash but it was actually not as damaged because it was hit from the side and just spun out. My car on the other hand was totaled from the front since I hit her (because she went through a red light) and now my insurance company got back to me and said that my car is to damaged to fix.
I am also wondering why my Airbags DID NOT deploy since my car got much more damage to it and it is still new (2013), and on the other hand the BMW's airbags DID deploy when it got less damage and it is a much older car (2002).
What's your opinion Guys? Should have my airbags Deployed?
I only ask this question because if I was just 1 second earlier on that light, the BMW would have collided right at my Door, and someone going about 60mph and hitting a cars door dead on will Definitely cause death to the person getting hit if the airbags did not deploy, and if they were to deploy it would have not caused death but just some broke bones.
I loved my 2013 Nissan Altima and am grateful that my girlfriend and I were not to injured and I believe that was due to Nissan creating a very well made and Safe car. On the other hand I still am very curious why the Airbags DID NOT Deploy in my car...
Also the driver in the BMW was the Least hurt (well her car did get much less damage) and even though she tried to lie and tell me that the Light was green for her EVEN AFTER I showed her the video, I am still grateful that she did not get hurt.
