Federal law prohibits dealers, repair shops, or anyone else from disabling an air bag.

a. true

b. false

The answer is true. Federal laws are guidelines that apply all over the United States. These laws apply in every state, such as: Immigration law. Bankruptcy law. Federal anti-discrimination and civil rights laws that protect against racial, age, gender and disability discrimination.

The correct answer is a. true.

However, if federal law prohibits dealers and repair shops to directly disable the mechanism since 1998, under special circumstances, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the U. S can grant permission to do so, or set up an airbag on/off switch for the passenger side.

Being medically unable to keep a distance of at least 25cm from an airbag compartment, or a lack of weigh sensors in the vehicle automatically disabling the airbag for children or small adult under five feet five inches can be counted as fair reasons.
