Gateshead has several major roads passing through it, including the A184 connecting the town to Sunderland and the A1 connecting to Edinburgh and London. The Millennium Bridge, a cyclist and pedestrian tilt bridge between Gateshead arts quarter and Newcastle's Quayside, is powered by enough electric motors to run more than eight Ford Focus cars. A clean air zone was introduced in the town in early 2023, so some vehicles have to pay to drive through the area.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Gateshead to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Gateshead, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
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.
Learn more about how airbags work in this guide.
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.
