How does a bumper protect people if they're hit?Nightfire said:I believe it's illegal to have no bumpers. They're designed to protect people if you hit them.
Doesn't protect per-say, but i'm sure you'd rather me run you down with a plastic bumper, rather than the metal framework of the car. Not that i'm planning to run you down or anything.Rip3z said:How does a bumper protect people if they're hit?

He says that there is nothing in the highway code to state otrherwise and no legislation that he knows of so therefore he has to conclude that it is legal. However he said he could stop you for having dangerous objects protruding such as sharp metal or exposed rods etc etc.
Thats coming from a traffic copper - so if he wouldnt arrest you for it I dont think a normal bobby could as he would need to state legeslation to you. For example section c paragraph 4 states that it is illegal to drive on a public highway whilst the vechicle is not in possetion of a bumper etc etc and he wouldnt be able to.
