President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sanctioned the law that makes mandatory the airbag for driver and front passenger in new cars. The measure, which was published this Thursday (19) in the Official Gazette of the Nation, also applies to imported zero kilometer. The inclusion of protective equipment is follow a schedule of adjustments to be defined by the National Council of Transit, which will require the item on all cars from 2014. As shown in the video next to the Chamber of Deputies had approved the project on February 18.

The price of equipment will vary depending on the model of the vehicle, but the installation of an airbag today, without large scale production, costs about U.S. $ 2 mil. This value may fall because of the requirement.

For the defenders of the law, the security pays the additional cost. On the video side you can see what happens with the driver when the impact of the strike is not deadened by the airbag.

From 2014

It is the National Traffic Council (Contran) regulate the technical specifications and schedule of implementation, but five years after the resolution of Contran all new cars must have airbags as item serial number.

For the text approved, will be given a period of five years after the regulation of Contran, so that all new cars manufactured in Brazil, except for export, have the airbag as item required.

In the first year of regulation, however, may already be required to new designs of vehicles have the airbag as item serial number and not as optional. There is no law in time for the Contran achieve the regulation.
