side airbags legal to drive without re installing

So my side airbags deployed and was curious to make my car street legal do i have to replace them? Cant undeestand why they would be required....

 

Since it seems like you don't want to fix them, did they deploy for something that happened where an insurance claim was not filed?

 

In Texas I don't believe your required to have insurance

 

Insurance was not filed on a tip over.... and just need the wheels to get rolling again fix as i go type approach....

 

Why not call your DMV? Seems like this isn't the best place to be asking about possible legalities involving manufacturer installed safety equipment liabilities.

 

Yes it is we are all lawyers on Tacoma world and can solver everyone's legal problems lol.

 

Not sure if its legal or illegal but they wont know as long as you dont get in another wreck so I'd say yes its drivable but whoever you are putting in the vehicle will be at higher risk of injury if you did end up wrecking again and if your going to eventually fix it I'd say just drive it.

 

I think legally you can do whatever you want. I couldn't locate a specific law or regulation that would stop you.

Liability to a passenger would be something else entirely.Something you may need to consider.

 

Using tacoma world to see if anyone else has gone rhrough but thanks fornur input

 

It's not illegal, but if you get in a crash and you have a passenger and they get injured and find out that you didn't have airbags you can be sued. Best to just fix the problem to protect yourself in the long run.

 

I removed my airbags years ago. Get a basic roll cage and five points. If airbags worked so well every racing organization on earth would require them.
