Is it illegal to remove a safety device from a car, like an airbag? i have an aftermarket steering wheel and it doesnt have an airbag, but my stock one did... so is my car not street legal?

just wondering, i dont care either way lol.

Yes, it is illegal, and if you get in an accident, your insurance company can deny you coverage due to modifications to safety equipment. Sucks.

 

Im almost 100% postive that it is street legal.

 

I only have liability coverage so i dont care, dying is my last worry! fun is my number one priority! i am young and stupid w00t w00t!

 

young and invincible!!!!!

 

yes!

 

...

 

yep.. well.. if i8 break or total my car, ill just take out a loan and buy another one! nothing can stop me, i am the man.

 

rofl! That's the stupidest thing i've ever heard, not having full coverage!

This thread eats my bag.

 

OMGLOLWTF

 

it's got to be street legal. but you'll definitely lose any warranties, etc on your car. If you change your front seats, you likely will no longer have air bags. BUT, if you remove your steering wheel and seats and don't replace them... then the car is definitely not street legal!!!

 

It's illegal and it will most likely throw an airbag light...

I dont have any airbag lights, the wheel has been on there for awhile...

and i have a 1996 L coupe... and a clean driving record... but for some reason they want me to pay 230-240 per month for full coverage so uhm yeah i cant afford that.
