While I was driving on the middle lane on beltway 495 heading to work- I saw a huge tire high in the air & dropping in front of my car. I took my foot off the accelerator. It hit the front grille & went underneath my car causing it to fly over the tire. I landed safely on the middle lane. ( at the time I didn't realized that my airbag should have been released on impact.) at another date someone hit my driver's side door at about 10 mph & the airbag didn't work.
