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.
