I had a car wreck on june 10, 2016. I hit an SUV that pulled out in front of me, and my air bag did not deploy on intial impact. I hit the SUV, then hit an imbankment. When I hit the imbankment, it deployed. It should have come out on intial impact. The impact ws so great, I hit my head on windshield and cracked glass above sterring wheel, even though I had my seat belt on. I have pictures of car, but it will not allow me to upload them for some reason. I can email them to you if you need me to.

Is there a wind standard for vehicles on highways? I know whenever there is wind on interstate no matter what strength this vehicle struggles through it. Not sure body is designed properly for highway where there is always wind. I'm having hard time keeping control of it and keeping from accident since I'm blown easily away. Also it shouldn't matter whether windows or down or not. Car should be designed to be able to handle all conditions.
