Bull Bars (Hansard, 25 February 2002)

§ Lord Falconer of Thoroton

Yes. In July 2000 the Transport Research Laboratory published a report of tests they had carried out comparing a range of typical bull bars and base vehicles. They concluded that the deformable bull bars tested had a very low risk of causing serious or life-threatening injuries in impacts with the heads of children. They also found that one of the steel bull bars gave a better test result than the vehicle to which it was attached.
