That NZ D3 that met a Toyota had both front airbags blown and there was no mention of a passenger.  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Spooky! Who would be driving ? 2006 D3 finally swapped for a 2016 D4 Graphite in Graphite grey. No mods

no switch and if factory fitted, illegal to remove or modify and you cannot do things like a lift kit if airbags are fitted.

Maybe I am wrong then... but I'm pretty sure the airbags are tied to the seat occupancy sensors. Maybe the force of the collision had them both go off ?

if NZ is like Oz then they will always both go off, occupied or not.

So those with King Springs are illegal? “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

Just Googled "Lift Kit"
It would seem that body lifts are illegal for vehicles with SRS airbags but suspension lifts are ok with engineers cert. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
