It's gunna cost the government a heap of money to take all the bull bars off all their vehicles and not be able to re-sell them.
I was thinking it's all pie in the sky stuff, but you never know!!

I hope this subject will die of a natural death. Employers have to provide their employees with a safe work place... If they can't, it's a blank cheque waiting to be written.
Rant over. lol
Back to networking with the brewery. lol

My extra part in comments:
Bull bars have been used for vehicles for many years. They have benn proven to prevent damage to vehicles even when only used in regional off roading, not just animal strikes but unseen small trees in long grass when off road through permitted forest use. To place extra lighting which is needed for safety while off roading at night, they must be placed within the vehicles dimensions. A bullbar give extra legal dimension to safely mount such lighting.
I believe pedestian safety needs to be placed back onto every person who steps onto a road surface. What ever happened to "Stop, Look, Listen and Look Again". Far too often, people step onto a road without looking and expect a vehicle to just stop and not hit them.
My bullbar is not fitted for extra safety in a collision with another vehicle, as I drive within the speed limit, and leave stopping room between myself and the vehicle in front. I drive within safe braking distances always.
My eyes are constantly scanning the sidewalks and parked cars for unexpected persons to avoid.
Bullbars and 4WD's are being made scape goats for peoples bad judgements and choices.
These vehicles, accessories, forest permits, Fuels, Camp site fees, tyres, all bring the Australian Tax office healthy dividends of TAX and GST. Ban these, and see a huge decline in TAX REVENUE.
There is more damage being done to pedestrians hit by a car with an inter-cooler radiator sitting out the front of it's grill than bullbars. Just go to the emergency room and observe the slivers of bone being removed from the wound. Not to mention the bits of aluminiun and plastic having to be surgically removed from abdomen.
Well said Tim.

Well said Tim. Wish we had more ppl in this world with enough common sense to think like this. What you have stated is exactly what I was teaching my step daughter when she was learning to drive.
bullbars > stupid pedestrians.
And that's why they are trying to ban them, although we say it in gest, the suits think we mean it!Quote:

All Done. I hope they take notice.
-------------done also --------------
i've done it. I'm not sure it'll ever gain any traction (or if it's even a *real* proposal from anyone other than a loony pedestrian group), but at least i've registered a protest
Just finished X 4, 1 for me, the wife and got the email addresses off the bro and sister in law.
...............Done.............
I must say this is such a joke
Anything's possible in today's society. You never know, a lot of people may be shaving using their own bullbar - one day !!!!!
I tend to agree... and... this poo fight originated in discussion papers on Barwork Design for Vehicles under 2500 KG GVM in interests of pedestrian safety so the majority of the 4WD fraternity have waded in "prematurely" as there is yet to be any mention of outlawing all Barwork and that is not the intent of the potential ADR implications.Quote:

I hope you win this fight, we (Egypt) lost it last year! All bar work is now illegal, the penalty for getting caught with a bull bar on your car is simply losing your license and you only get it back after a trip to the DMV and a heavy fine. So we all had to take the bar work off and that really upset a lot of people .
I have two ARB bull bars in perfect nick hanging in my garage, mine and the wife's X-trail one !!! Kills me every morning when I see them !
They ban everything and for what benefit? Are bullbars really a problem?
