Q: I have been told the goverment were going to introduce a ban but didn`t.

A: No, it's no longer legal to fit anything other than a safety FPS or 'frontal protection system' . Fortunately, the ban is NOT retrospective, so if it's already got one fitted, it's fine - and for the 'kangaroo' comment, it's a hell of a lot cheaper to get kicked in the bullbar by a cow when they're being herded than for them to kick a f*** great hole in the radiator & headlights. Same goes for opening gates with them.
