The government’s Ministry of Highways and
Road Transport (MORTH) has just banned bull-bars on cars and SUVs running on
roads of India. The ministry has sent out a letter to the transport
commissioners of all the states of the country, urging them to act against those
vehicles running bull-bars.
The ministry is urging to take the action as bull bars posed a danger to
pedestrians as well as occupants, and were in violation of the Motor Vehicles
Act. The Act prohibits owners from altering a motor vehicle in such a manner
"that the particulars contained in the certificate of registration are at
variance with those originally specified by the manufacturer".
The ministry has also indicated that bull-bars are illegal according to
the Section 52 of the Motor Vehicles Act. It has also pointed out that using
bull-bars on vehicles attracts penalties under the Section 190 and 191 of the
Motor Vehicles Act.
If this law got through, the ones not following it will attract a fine
of Rs 1,000 for the first offence and Rs 2,000 subsequently. Thereby it's
advisable that if you have a car or SUV equipped with a bull-bar/bull-guard, it
is advisable that you get it removed at the earliest. Bull-bars/bull-guards may
protect your vehicle’s bumpers from minor scrapes but they have multiple
disadvantages, some of them very dangerous to your personal safety, and safety
of fellow road users like cyclists, two wheeler riders and pedestrians.
