The USA is right to be alarmed at the idea of a foreign military base on it's soil,

but...........

I reckon police would want to have a word with anyone wielding a 2 metre steel pipe while walking among pedestrians.

But that's exactly what these vehicles are doing daily.

For 49 years I've been seeing similar news items; people injured or killed, and the vehicle with a bull bar clearly visible in the story.

Bull bars increase the risk of pedestrian injury and death.

I can't remember every seeing a bull on the roads of our towns and cities.

Lots of people though.

Bull bars increase the risk of injury and death for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and even vehicle drivers and passengers.

Bull bars are unnecessary and aggressive.

Most vehicle manufacturers don't fit bull bars, and don't want to know about them.

That's an expensive bicycle.
