Finally guards allow the president to drive a car after the Secret Service had consulted with the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs. Terms of the Secret Service, the car driven by the President must have the air bag (airbag). Apparently, Volt is equipped with eight air valves.
To the reporters and workers who visited the factory, Gibbs said, the President drove the car itself is a remarkable thing. "There has never happened before," explains Gibbs. Last time, Obama was driving his own car four months ago in the Secret Service training facility.
