Point being, if they can be turned off then why is it illegal to remove them.......................what is the difference between a baby in a seat and a woman that might be 4'11 90lbs in the front seat driving................it's going to do some serious damage to her too............is that safe ??.......................think about it...........yeah it will probably kill the baby but how much damage will it do to a small person driving as well.........

Sorry I didn't pick up on your Sarcasm Tim, Airbags are so... controversial, many people have actually been killed by them. Speaking of these 4'11" people, I know someone that heightI understand of how their unsafe. The Canadian Gov. has actually composed a list of vechicles that she cannot drive, such as the Hummer both H1 and H2, and a few others. Its toobad, I wish vechicles were user customizable. but that probably wont happen any time soon.

The point really being, it is illegal to tamper with vehicle safety devices IN THE US, not in Canada. Airbags are NOT mandatory in Canada.
I had a friend who moved to the US and she HAD to have her 1993 VW Jetta Retrofitted with Airbags before they'd allow it into the US as a permanent vehicle. She chose to sell it.

I disagree with removing safety equipment though.

Alsmot the same as Canada with daytime running lights, it's not mandatory in the US but in Canada it is after a certain year on ALL vehicles.

whether you like the safety equip or not is not as important as usin' your head when it comes to installin' the gear. Why does someone need a screen on the freakin' steering wheel, ain't the dash good enough. i can tell you I sure don't want any moron drivin' near me and my kid with a friggin' movie playin' in front of him. it's bad enough with all the a-holes and their cells, much less some yahoo watchin' pornos while he's drivin'. I ain't a government lover by any means, but if some of these guys use their head then big brother does not have to be involved. You know the idiots that cause noise ordinance laws because they like to crank 2 kilowatts at 2:00 a.m on a wednesday night on a residential street. They're the ones that are probably into steering wheel screens. Why not virtual reality goggles and video games for the driver too.

I thought baby seats were not allowed in the front seats of any vehicle - only rear seats.
So is it illegal to have screen with MP3 song list showing? I can see watching movies and TV being a problem.
