ON MY WAY TO WORK ON NEW YEARS EVE 2012 I LOST CONTROL OF MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WENT OF THE ROAD AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE AT ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONCIOUS AND SUFFERED IMMEDIATELY NOTICABLE INJURIES TO MY FACE, ARMS, CHEST AND KNEES. THE POLICE SAID I WAS NOT WEARING MY SEATBELT AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL. I ALWAYS WEAR MY SEATBELT, NO MATTER WHAT! ON TOP OF THAT, THE DINGER THAT GOES OFF WHEN THERE IS NO SEATBELT ON IS VERY ANNOYING AND ALONE WOULD CAUSE ME TO PUT IT ON. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD LISTEN TO A DINGER FOR A 45 MIN DRIVE TO WORK AND NOT PUT MY SEATBELT ON, AND I WAS 10 MINUTES FROM WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT THE SEATBELT WAS CLIPPED ENOUGH TO TURN OFF THE DINGER BUT NOT ENOUGH TO LOCK BECAUSE MY INJURIES INDICATE THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY BRUISING OR MARKS FROM A SEATBELT AND MY HEAD HAD CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH A SEALTBELT THAT WORKED AND AN AIRBAG THAT DEPLOYED PROPERLY. THIS WAS THE SECOND ACCIDENT WHERE THIS CAR DID NOT DEPLOY THE AIRBAG. THE FIRST WAS A REAREND THAT SHOVED MY CAR INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. AFTER INSURANCE LOOKED AT THE CAR, IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS FROM THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. *TR
