banning bull bars

Wanderer:
Mind would scoop them up on to the bonnet, to a place of safety and then at the end drop them with a thump on the floor

Damn right, If someone is stupid enough to step out in front of a 2-tonne Landie, which isn't exactly quiet and blocks out the sun, then they perhaps need nominating for a 'Darwin'

If the bar doesn't get them there are plenty of hard edges to crack their skulls open on following all too close behind!

I remember a few years ago, when I worked in Plastics, reading about an Aussie company who had got tired of bending the company Ute on Kangaroos and started rotamoulding 'Roo bars.  Not only did they protect the cars but also the Kangaroos, and best still being rotamouldings they return slowly to their original shape even after heavy damage.  Surely these are actually better than a 'naked' car!

Whatever happened to the green cross code anyway?[/i]

way2deep:
look this is serious folks.repair costs are sometimes horrendous from off roading without panel damage as well!as for road use maybe we could qualify for a government grant for lift kits so we can drive over any one who crosses infront of us instead of into them.

Range Rover Blues:
Yes, that's it!

I was surprised when I first got into off-roading that a dirty great winch on the front of a 4x4 would be street legal and pass an MOT. Don't get me wrong I love my LR and off roading but I wouldn't want my child or anyone else for that matter being polaxed by a winch or a bullbar at any speed. Adding a 2" lift and big tyres just brings it all much closer to child head height.

The same arguement could be used against Ferraris and the like where the front is so damn low and pointy it would cut your legs off below the knee and probably stick you 10 foot in the air.

Ban one, ban em all, unless they are all round soft and spongy of course. I've had the missfortune to stand and watch a child being run over infront of my own eyes. Anyway, nasty experience.

I still want the freedom to add bit's n bobs to my LR without burocrats telling me what to do but we all have to live with our own actions and our own conscience. However we all should have the freedom of choice.
