In August of last year airbags in a Chevrolet Camaro deployed whilst its driver was attempting to drift, despite there being no crash or rollover. At the time, a spokesman for Chevy explained that in certain conditions the side curtain bags can deploy if the sensors determine that a rollover is imminent. Deciding it’s better to be safe than sorry, the system will sometimes deploy certain airbags even though a rollover doesn’t eventuate. Drifting, or creating a situation that has a certain combination of speed and vehicle angle, is one of those situations which can lead to an...
