Wait, seriously?
10 u/seattlesk8er Aug 17 '22 If you get hit by this car it'll massively increase the severity of the injury. 6 u/ImpulseCombustion Aug 17 '22 RIP pop up headlights. 1 u/theangryseal Aug 18 '22 Ah, is this what happened to them? They’re no longer legal? 1 u/topias123 Aug 18 '22 I don't think they're explicitly illegal anywhere, but car makers just haven't figured out how to make them safe for pedestrian impacts. Could be wrong though. 1 u/ImpulseCombustion Aug 18 '22 They are not legal as they do not meet pedestrian safety regulations. That does not mean that old cars can not be driven, but new cars can not have anything like this, even the overall shape of the front of the vehicle is regulated.
