Yes Tiff, very clever thinking goes into cars these days. There have to certain parameters met before they will deploy.
Just like ABS or traction control won't work below a certain speed and 4 wheel steering won't work above a certain speed.

Same happened when I rolled my mitsubishi carisma (yeah go on laugh
) into a ditch 3 times. Not one airbag went off despite a glancing blow head on into a rock face.But then i walked away without a scratch so the airbag computer probably did do its job correctly. Tensioners went off though!

I thought "shit, thats bad" when I read your first post, then read this;
and thought "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!"
Thank Christ the baby is okay Mark - that had the possibility to be horrific....
Can't imagine what the mother must have gone through there - fist to bin the car, then to watch as someone smacked her sisters car that her baby was in the back of! So so so lucky she is fine.....

The worst bit is that the poor baby had just been in one crash...Then sat in the back of my car and this happened
Thanks for all the concearn people

Sounds like there was something on the road that caused the cars to spin, it may have been nothing that either of them could have done to avoid both the accidents.
Tiff your mondy held up pretty well and glad one was hurt
Hope the GAP is as good as i think it is (i have it on my FRS too 
) and you shouldnt be out of pocket

At least everyones ok...
Thanks for the piccy message at 8.50am this morning mate
If you can arrange it I'll need to come and rip the handsfree kit out of the car so it can go in the new one.
Unless you'd like a quote for a replacement.

The road has a bend on it just past the ambulance, that is where the lads 206 came from.
The Missus just drove straight into the layby.....
As for the Audi Estate.....We will see, but it wont be the RS6 just yet

Unbelievable story Tiff, however lucky was that little baby!!
I'm with Andy in terms of thinking that there must have been some reason for both cars coming off the road in that way. Diesel on the road or something I would say. I hope that doesn't make a way out for the insurance, I know what absolute fuckers they are.
