Quick Jacks or Full Bumpers?

[wilf leek]

I rather like the mean racing look of the quick jacks, but I also have another perspective:

Here in the UK we could never get quickjacks through our vehicle inspection (SVA test). So bumpers or bumperettes it is for me. (no nudge bars tho' - that's just too shiny for a Brit).

Since the US is a tad more litiginous than the UK, how on earth do you guys get your insurance companies to accept quickjacks? They would be purely lethal to any poor pedestrian's legs you were unfortunate enough to collide with.

I could see lawyers making much of the additional pain and injury caused by quickjacks???
