I’d also like to know what area this is in glasgow.

Area I live is pretty well heeled but I dare say I’ve never seen anyone struggle with parking! Which makes me think is somewhere like Hyndland (where cars are crammed in like sardines), but in that case I’d be confused by the well to do comment. Even then, I’ve still never seen anyone struggle to park.

Does the need to provide a ‘pedestrian crumple zone’ really mean that a bumper can no longer handle a 2 or 3mph nudge Graham ?

I dunno. I’m not a car engineer.

I would guess though that designing to crumple is different to designing to bounce back – i.e. using sacrificial plastic mounts that snap when the bumper is compressed.

Does seem to vary though.

I drove into the back of someone at low speed at junction (entirely my fault 😳 ). It buckled in the boot of their car quite a bit, but my car was absolutely fine, with just a small broken clip on the bumper.
