No 'roos in this country - not needed. + dangerous.
Dated nov. 2001:
Bull bars are to be banned from all new cars sold within the European Union from 1 January.

Further changes to car front design are to be introduced by 2005, and a comprehensive set of changes by 2010.

Having favoured legislation last June, this change of position... represents a complete cave-in to the intensive lobby of the car industry


Bull bars have been targeted by road safety pressure groups because they increase the injuries caused to pedestrians involved in road accidents.

Campaigners say children in particular are put at risk if they are hit by cars fitted with the bars.

The new code contains nothing to stop car users having bull bars fitted after they had bought the vehicles - although the manufacturers themselves would pledge not to market or supply them as bars.
