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 reverse the process and can lead to increase in chances of death during accidents. However, in every statement, a word unauthorized has been used before bull bars. The definition of authorized was not made clear at the time this letter surfaced online. Ministry of highway and road transport may soon update their page with all details regarding the new amendment. The decision is one clear step towards betterment of Indian laws and concerns about pedestrian safety. Bull Bars BannedAny modification to your vehicle poses a threat to someone’s safety as company has been testing the product with just standard parts at all times. It feels like we are safe guarding our vehicle but in actual terms, we are putting everyone around in danger. The fiber imposed parts are actually made to absorb the impact and break themselves to keep others safe at emergency times. 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.
