That's been the law down here for a loooooonnnnngggg time. What has taken
Europe so long?
Hood ornaments are just that - ornaments, no useful purpose. Bumpers do have
some usefulness. MB stars are collapsible, RR ladies retract etc....

Jp in Oz, neither use nor ornament as my mother used to say....

Auto manufactures in Europe will have to remove hood ornaments over concerns
about pedestrian injuries when/if struck by a car.

One can only wonder then, as to why they would the allow use of bumpers on
cars (I mean, compared to a hood ornament, a bumper can really do some
harm!!).

Honestly, there appears to be no limit to the absurdity of it all.


Have a great week   :-D

well preserved body, but rather to skid in
broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming:
