I could see lawyers making much of the additional pain and injury caused by quickjacks???
What, do you brits have soft foam covered front bumpers so that you can hit pedestrians? If you are careless enough to run into a pedestrian, does it really matter if you have quick jacks or bumperettes? What would your defense be, "Your honor, I did my best to provide a comfortable front bumper for the pedestrians, so that when I hit them in the crosswalk, it would feel good."
