Were talking about the UK where Peugeot have overide switches on the passenger air bags. Your cookie (another Americanism) example might apply when there are thousands of others to chhose from. With cars that need to be used in conjuction with driver operated wheelchair access - very few cars suit my particular needs. Your writing imply that it would be wrong to kill a baby with an air bag, but a disabled person is expendable. Perhaps if Hitler was in power today - YOU would support him!! MJW
