EU Bull
Bull-bars Banned - 23/05/2007 - FarmersWeekly
From 25th May, fitting bull-bars to vehicles such as 4x4s is to become illegal.In a move to improve pedestrian and cyclists’ safety on the road, EU law dictates the sale and manufacture of protective metal frames is to stop.
Farmers – for whom the idea was originally developed – must now find alternative means of shielding the front of their vehicles from marauding cattle and rogue tree branches.
This is the only UK press mention I can find of this today.
