Honda investigating airbag malfunction
Posted on Tuesday, October 25th, 2011 at 4:45 pm
Nearly a dozen complaints have been filed of airbags deploying for no apparent reason in 2008 Honda Accords.
The most recent case involved a 26 year-old Georgia man who was driving 60-65 mph in the middle lane on Interstate 85 when his side airbags exploded. His Honda shows no sign of side impact. The man said the airbags blocked his view and he lost his hearing for a day.
Currently, neither Honda nor the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is not issuing a recall for this apparent defect. They state they cannot find a common link between the different instances of random airbag deployment. No accidents or fatalities have been linked to the dozen complaints listed on the federal website safecar.gov

Car-deer accidents on the decline
Posted on Wednesday, October 5th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
According to a new study by Statefarm, car-deer crashes have slightly declined across the country. However, Wisconsin still ranks seventh in the country for car versus deer accidents. Compared to last year, Wisconsin is down by 1% despite a reported 37 car-deer collisions in September.
The Statefarm study shows that Wisconsin drivers have a one in 97 chance of hitting a deer. The Lincoln County Sheriff suggests that the safest option for drivers, as hard as it may be, is to hit the animal rather than swerve out of the way. Trying to evade hitting the deer can result in more serious injuries.
Law enforcement encourages drivers to use their brights at night and to keep an eye on roadside ditches. Statefarm claims that October is the second most dangerous month for car-deer accidents, behind November.
