Crash Guards and Bull Bars Banned by Indian Government

Bull Bars Banned by Indian Government: A recent amendment in the motor vehicles act resulted in Bull Bars being banned in India. The much loved crash guards are now illegal to install as they hinder the natural crash soaking ability of the car’s body. Almost every SUV in the market comes with bull bars as the most desired accessory. Not just that, even small cars are sometimes offered with the huge front bars as owners assume that bumper will stay safe with the accessory. In actual terms, the bumpers are made to absorb or transfer the impact of crash to other body parts and bull bars actually degrades the design efficiency.

Bull Bars, on the other hand, are made from hardest possible metals that does not even bend fully after the impact. All of the force goes directly into the object that has crashed onto the vehicle at such times.
