Grille Guards: Better Protection or Greater Harm?
A new bill (A.B. 107) to prohibit the use of grille or brush guards attached to a motor vehicle's chassis has been reintroduced in the New York State Assembly. Concerned citizens are being urged to contact members of the New York Assembly Transportation Committee to request their opposition to A.B. 107.
A.B. 107 relies on unsubstantiated claims that such guards create the potential of greater harm to other vehicles in the event of a collision and also that grille guards obstruct airbag sensors, rendering the airbags useless in an accident. A.B. 107 would require owners of vehicles currently equipped with certain grille guards (including those purchased with this equipment from a dealership) to remove these guards.
A.B. 107 ignores an existing federal prohibition against selling equipment that would take a vehicle out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, including Section 208 which covers occupant crash protection and airbags.
To let your voice be heard, contact members of the New York Assembly Transportation Committee by phone or e-mail to request their opposition to this bill. If this bill passes, just imagine where it may lead to with other four-wheeling-related products.
