Guy's,

The Age is currently doing a survey on banning bull-bars for
urban registered 4wd. I would encourage you to respond.

Keep on defending the right to drive the car you choose.

I am on my way Ron. I love my bullbar, just takes away the stress of panel damage at night when the skippies are thick. Matt

[RichardK]

Done :!: :!: :!: :!:

[p38arover]

So what are we supposed to do? Take off our bullbars before we enter the metro area?

Can't you just see it, quick disconnects for our sway bars and bullbars!? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Not right is it. I cant see them being banned. In the UK maybe, but in Oz, they are essential to the coutry people. Matt

these people just dont get it do they Semi's are bigger then 4wds, do more damage in an accident then a 4wd, yet i haven't heard the do gooders whinging about their bull bars !!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about we go back to rail transport?

I am sure there would be enough families who have lost family members via truck accidents who would agree.

Yep, I voted No!!

Vote No!!!! PeteH

[hiline]

[disco95]

Done, but, isn't there always a but. I do think that there should be some regulation as to what sort of bulbars you can use. I'm pretty sure it's done this way now, and the bullbars on the market are pretty good. Occasionally you still see tha odd toyo with the big 4 or 5 pilar bar on the front, trying to look like a prime mover for a semi. :roll:

[PeteH]

Done fellas :wink:

8) it appears that the age poll can be voted on more than once, so i voted no, no, no.
after all, are they going to ban trucks, kombi's, white vans, holdens, etc.
poor kid, it probably would have happened whether the vehicle had a bullbar or not. steel is still harder than heads.

[Knight]

Been there and voted NO!

Cheers
Knight :wink:

Went to vote, but the pole had gone..... :evil: :evil: ....but the results showed that the "ban bullbars" lot lost... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

on this subject I have seen a couple of Japer's up this way with the following sticker on the back window

"Don't Ban Bullbars, Ban Stupid Pedestrian's".... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: ...ahhh the best form of Defence.....Attack... :wink:

[DiscoTDI]

I agree with medic :twisted:

[VladTepes]

The "don't ban them" won - just.

Harold Scruby's name pops up again, how about that :!: :roll:


Interestingly in the article police say they are not charging the driver - so, perhaps there were other factors involved.

The family has genuine cause for grief but in that grief are lashing out against the wrong people.

[Ace]

Bull Bars will never be banned, they are to important to country drivers and 4wders who need them to protect the vehicle and bolt accessories onto. Matt

It's pretty easy to detect if a computer has been used to vote multiple times, especially in short succession. If I were writing the logic for one of these web polls, I'd subtly disallow such vote stacking.
