Bridport is in Dorset, a county known for its scenic roads with stunning views; it's an excellent place for a road trip. The busiest main road in Bridport is the section of the A35 trunk road to the west of the town at Miles Cross. The route bypasses the town centre, travelling east to Southampton and west to Honiton. Bridport doesn't have any close connections to the motorway network; the nearest is junction 25 of the M5 at Taunton.

Bridport is in a rural area where you're likely to encounter uneven road surfaces and sharp turns, putting strain on your tyres and suspension. Regularly inspecting these components and following our tyre maintenance advice will help prevent any problems from developing. When driving through the countryside near Bridport, keep an eye out for animals and livestock on the road to avoid braking suddenly, and be aware of other road users since there may be unmarked blind bends. Country roads sometimes flood during heavy rainfall, so check the forecast and take it slow through patches of water to avoid aquaplaning.

Airbag systems work thanks to onboard sensors that detect when a car has crashed. A small explosive device in the airbag module detonates, inflating the airbag, which protects the driver and passenger from impact with the front of the car.

This system has several components: the ECU, ignitor, sensors, inflator, warning lights, passenger occupancy sensors and the airbags themselves. If one or more of these develops a fault, you'll need to book a car airbag repair as soon as possible.

The most obvious sign you need an airbag ECU repair is the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light. When the airbag warning light comes on and stays on, an airbag light repair may be required, though the problem is likely related to the system rather than the light itself. In fact, the light may indicate a sensor problem, in which case you'll need to book a car airbag sensor repair.
