And if every driver also used their full concentration and drove comfortably within their limits and the limits of the road, then you could argue that car don't need any form of crash protection.

I still see a twisted sence behind the idea of fitting every vehicle with a large spike in the middle of the steering wheel and banning seatbelts for drivers. My experiance is that most drivers exceed or are on their limit most of the time, being lulled into a false sence of security. It's just most of the time they don't get caught out.

I will agree that its not just car drivers that are dangerous but they certainly arn't blameless.

There are over 400 points of them - all going into the pocket of the only guy in this country (possibly even Europe) making them.

And this guy is very anti steel bull bar, so anti in fact that it wouldn't surprise me if he and his company were the driving force behind the recent legislation

Oh, I agree whole heartedly, there is not a day goes by when we witness someone pulling a stupid stunt or even a lapse in concentration that pushes things somewhat towards the dangerous. Trouble is a lot of drivers put the act of driving somewhere around priority 5 on their list of things to do putting things like talking on the phone, changing the CD eating lunch etc

kizz81:
i was given a choice of a soft nudge bar it was called i told them i wasnt at all interested now i have a nice bull bar,

if anyones interested most probly know but on here around may time i was told that it would be illegal to fit bull bars after may 15th or simular date, so i went along and fitted it anyway after the date, it is only illegal to sell bull bars not to fit them according to LRMand my product design teacher ( wouldnt listen to him any way  :D )

i think its dafte because if your going to run some one over the chances are they arnt going to look very good after with/without a bull or nudge bar.

cheers kieran
