Middlesbrough is connected to Stockton on Tees by the Tees Transporter Bridge, the longest transporter in the world, though it's no longer operational. Using winches, it could carry up to two hundred people and nine vehicles across the river in ninety seconds. The town is served by Stagecoach and Arriva North East buses, and its railway station is the fourth busiest in the region. The worst time to drive in Middlesbrough is Friday at 3pm, according to 2021 data.

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.
