Nice to see the typical pant-shitting lobby come out with both barrels blazing. Horizontally facing front crash bars are going to do almost nothing to protect you in a high speed impact. That's what the crumple zones and unibody structure around the engine bay are for.
You can buy this and be precisely no less safe than you would be stock. Off road use only stickers are often required only by regulation and liability (theirs, not yours), not by reality.
This isn't going to cause you legal problems in the event of anything up to and including Armageddon. People hit by a car at speed are going to have their legs broken, and this looks like it's at or below knee level. That's a foregone conclusion. Stock or oem, it doesn't matter. There's more safety engineering put into the hood and windshield than the bumper in the US, and I'm pretty thankful we don't have those god-awful pedestrian safety requirements that ruin cars and reward pedestrians for their stupidity and inability to follow traffic laws.
