I am sorry to say that this is wrong information. I have today checked on the laws and written regulations from the DMV. This is a copy of the regs off their website.
Bull bars Bull bars are acceptable equipment provided they meet the following requirements : - A bar is to be adequately bolted to a main member or member bracket (e.g.. chassis rail or sub frame). Attachment by welding is only permitted if the structural integrity of the sub frame is not adversely effected.
- It must be constructed of tubular section material and in such a manner that there are no narrow, sharp or protruding sections or jagged edges likely to increase the risk of bodily injury to a person
- It must not obstruct the light path of any forward facing lamps
- The bar must not project more than 300 mm forward of the vehicle’s head lamps, except where the construction of the vehicle makes this impractical
- Licensing Services reserves the right to withdraw or amend the guidelines for modifications in this section. It should be understood that approval to carry out these modifications is conditional upon the owner using the vehicle in a safe and sensible manner.
Should any vehicle owner demonstrate irresponsible or consistently bad driving, Licensing Services may require that owner to return the vehicle to standard.
The last paragraph says it all. Thats the law as it stands at the moment.
