Are you wondering whether or not a nudge bar is a good fit for your vehicle? If so, you need to know the benefits of having one so you can assess whether or not it’s the right fit. Let’s take a look in more detail about why you need a nudge for your vehicle.
Following are four of the top reasons why you need a nudge bar on your vehicle.
1. Protection From Animal Collisions
If you hit an animal while driving, the impact can cause considerable damage to your car. Depending on the size of the animal, you could end up completely stranded on a remote road. In this case, a nudge bar on your vehicle is a good idea.
Nudge bars are designed to throw the animal upwards and away from your vehicle so it will land elsewhere. Of course, you need to get out of the vehicle and check on the animal and report the situation to the necessary authorities to avoid any issues, and for your own peace of mind.
Vehicles without nudge bars become quite vulnerable in the event of animal collisions. For instance, it’s possible that the animal will go under the vehicle or land on the windscreen causing considerable damage.
However, nudge bars have been configured to work with the airbags so they can deploy upon collision saving you from injury in the event of an accident.
2. General Protection
When you are driving off-road, there are so many hazards you are likely to come across. For instance, there are rocks, sticks and other forms of debris.
These items are likely to get caught up and jammed in the wrong places such as the engine bay which may lead to you spending money on repairs.
A nudge bar can prevent all of these issues from happening and allow you to drive off-road with ease. Make sure the nudge bar completely covers the front of your vehicle for the best protection.
3. Prevent Serious Damage in the Event of a Minor Accident
If you have installed a nudge bar on your vehicle, you should be able to drive away in the event of a minor accident, rather than your vehicle being damaged.
The nudge bar takes all the impact so nothing directly hits your vehicle. In short, if you are unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident, a nudge bar works can help prevent any serious damage to your vehicle.
4. Protect the Vehicle Occupants
If your car hits a person, an animal, another car or any object on the road, there is the potential for serious damage to the vehicle and also the occupants.
Actually, if there are other occupants in the vehicle, besides the driver, they might also be seriously injured. However, nudge bars come in handy in this scenario.
They will take in all the impact and prevent further damage to the vehicle and/or the occupants from being hurt.
What to Consider When Choosing a Nudge Bar for Your Vehicle
Now that you know what a nudge bar can do for you, it’s time to choose the best one for your vehicle. Here are some of the things to consider.
- The make of your vehicle determines the best type of nudge bar for you. Therefore, ask around to find the right fit for your vehicle.
- The size of your vehicle, especially the front end, will determine what type of nudge bar to choose.
- Your own preferences when it comes to nudge bars is also an important consideration during the selection process.
In conclusion, for most people, a nudge bar might seem like an expensive accessory but it’s very useful in the event of an accident.
It absorbs the impact from collisions, protecting your occupants and the vehicle from further damage. It’s a good way to avoid spending money on costly repairs.
