Default Little Accident

On my way to work this morning a bee hit me in the face and I kissed a guardrail... Air bag light came on but they did not deploy. I was surprised the air bags didn't deploy as I was traveling at about 30 to 35 mph. Any one had this happen? anyone had similar damage? Oh I was not injured just gave me a crazy headache.


Thanks for any info

Sorry to hear, but glad you all right.

I once had a dragonfly stuck in my cabin, and that freaked the hell out of me! I was making a left turn and I guess I may have crossed his "flight path" (yeah our cars go that fast lol) and ended up flying in from the driver side window which was only opened a third of the way. It was huge, and all I could hear were it's wings snapping and buzzing all around my head, kinda like when you're in a movie theater and you hear the audio "All around you." The rear windows were up and it kept bouncing off every window it thought was an opening including the front windshield. I swerved in and out of lanes, head bobbing up, down, left, right, forward and back, all to avoid it from hitting me. It was like I was going down Lombard Street in SF! I had a really good look at it when he came by my window. He kept flying into the window several times before I finally had the wits about me to control the vehicle, go straight and lower my window. That was an adrenaline rush. I literally had to pull over to calm myself down. Thank goodness no cars were around.
