Bull bar blitz: rural drivers fined

Let's talk about what a pedestrian feels like as he is it by a forward facing bar - isn't that where all this started?

Surely there's better ways to get people to talk about their feelings than running into them, bullbar or not.

I believe it will start with a temporary feeling of elation as they go flying through the air, swiftly followed by a feeling of despair as they crunch into the floor.

A feeling of "oh ****" comes on quite quickly as the donkey that was following runs over them too.

Don't you mean a temporary feeling of elevation... Oh no that would be with a rearward sloping bar ....

and that would be a Donkey with a bullbar fitted to its ASS because there is a Greek ship and a Liberian full of Lube

i remember my Liberian from school. her ASS was like a bullbar

Not sure if this has been covered but do the ADR rules apply to ALL vehicles including Government and Special Purpose vehicles or are ther exemptions?

I'm sure there would be exemptions. In the same way emergency services personnel are exempted for mobile phone use whilst driving.
Where they would apply, I have no idea, but if a non approved bull bar is required on a modern vehicle, I'm sure it will be exempted.

This topic has now got REALLY silly!

For a start, very few ADRs are retrospective, and I suspect this one is not either - but few bullbars were factory fitments anyway.

Just an interesting aside because if the theory of pedestrian protection during impact is the driving force then why would there be exemptions? I am not talking about vintage trucks but current Govt fleet such as I saw this morning when some Army trucks went by in a metropolitan area.


The bullbars were forward leaning which is the first no no of the ADR requirement.
