Just hear this over the Radio.

Euro Law wants Britain to introduce a new pedestrian friendly safety feature and it will add upto 3 thousand pounds onto new car prices

Anyone dig up any info on this?

With Petrol prices the way they are no manufacturer would bother. They'd do the sensible thing and shut it all down and turn their hands to finance seeing as thats were all the monies made anyway.

Sounds like a scare story.

All car manufacturers will have to meet new pedestrian impact criteria (look at the new pug 408) but it only means increasing the gap between the top of the engine and the bonnet (to give the bonnet more flex) and a slightly longer nose (so your head doesn't hit the windscreen). Nothing major enough to add £3k to a car.

EU would be better off enforcing road safety lessons in schools. When I were a lad <gets pipe and slippers> we had the green cross man and the tufty club. They don't have anything like that drilled into them these days.

Well my mom wouldn't let me cross one quiet road to school until i was in year 6 (Top Year In First School)... it was drummed into me by my parents!!!
