Talk:Pedestrian safety through vehicle design

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This appears to be WP:NOR original research. Before nominating this for deletion, I'd like to see if anyone else agrees. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 08:03, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Disagree, looks fine to me, though I would probably prefer citations from academia rather than manufacturers with product to sell. Softgrow 08:51, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:NOR

Hi, Thanks for your comments.

I have added more citations. I'd be happy to beef it up further if it still looks improperly referenced.

Thanks Kavi

[edit] Bull bars

How about discussing some of the low-tech design changes which also influence Pedestrian Safety? For example, bull bars on 4x4s or SUVs.--ReddyRose 21:27, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi ReddyRose, I agree. I can't seem to find a suitable reference/citation. Do you have one? Kavi 01:31, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Try looking at Australian media, the issue is sometimes raised there. You might also mention the removal of pointy hood-ornaments, such as those found on Mercedes & Jaguars. I think there was some sort of law passed (at least in Europe) banning them because they cut through a pedestrian's flesh. (Shame, cos they look cool). --BadSeed 03:46, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Should we create an article named "Pedestrian safety"?

I think we should. I was ready to do it but maybe some discussion beforehand would be advisable. The alternative to a new article could just be a redirect to here, but since this is a specialized piece of pedestrian safety. I think it makes more sense to just put a link to here in a new article as one of many links. Spalding 14:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
