You might want to consider there are other reasons for putting a bull bar on a vehicle.

Convenient winch and driving light mounting being one.

Improved approach angle being another. ( And the ability not to destroy the front air dam on any road with a high centre and deep wheel ruts)

So not all of us are driving around culling wildlife with our eyes or minds closed.... just saying....

And to show the difference in identical D4s with and without here is a pic that shown the increased front clearance!!!!!.
My D4 has brilliant lighting,has the bi-xenon upgrade.USELESS in the bush,no where near enough depth to travel at the legal 110kmh.Now I can upgrade my ligthing,lights and wiring were purchased months ago awaiting the bar!!!!

Don't come crying to me when you get a bollocking from everyone about it...

Why would I. The comment comes from years of driving, both professional and holidays. I was a test driver for Ford Motor Company. I have driven 4wds since 1980. Over this time I have driven all over Australia including 17 years in WA. At night over all different roads. My comment come from the attitude of the people I worked with and the general public. Over many campfires and pubs. I am not a troll or wish to be. I am just commenting on my experience. In all of my driving I have not hit anything. I have come close I have also been disciplined on driving to fast for other drivers.

Agree I have had bull bars on all of my vehicles private and work except my current rangy . What I think is, it is not an object to support my bad road skills.
As In I don't need to look for wildlife as I have a bullbar to protect me.

Drive more slowly seems a good bet.

Mate when ya spending as much time on the road as me incompetence from other drivers ****s me if ya can't keep up get off the road I have places to be and things to do...I'm far from a fast or unsafe driver however I don't shag around I'm there to get from A-B and when someone is jining around that's what causes accidents...I have the bar on there so that I don't have to slow down for ferals saves a fair bit of time really

Why do people make a comment, when they have no history of the person they are committing on?.

Because they were baited

You mean like....

You telling forum members here that the reason they hit animals is because they're bad drivers?

How many of the forum members do you know the driving history of?
How many incidents of forum members hitting animals are you privy to the details of?

The lady doth protest too much methinks....
