I have previously mentioned my suspicions that there was no such thing as “air bags in our cars.”
People debated. Auto makers declined to respond. I poked and prodded my steering wheel with sharp objects that under normal collision situations would coax the elusive airbag from its darkened home. I did research online to see if (other than car commercials and car company websites) there were any sightings of an actual airbag being deployed. If people involved in accidents (pre-settlement) ever mentioned seeing one engage.
But nothing prepared me for my trip to the car dealership where all would become clear.

Day 3 of WFME’s Week ‘o Searches welcomes you back.
This week WFME’s been taking search strings that have brought people to the site (which apparently has been responsible 56% of the time in finding this blog a new slew of readers) and answering the questions that the initially-faceless citizens of the Net have desperately wanted the answers to. Today? The classic “backed into parked car, who’s at fault” query people keep searching for.
Today’s post is for all you horrible drivers who wish you had a scapegoat available when you hit (yet another) car.
