The bumpers of ordinary sedans in the past were much higher. Further, bumpers do not really exist except behind $1,500 plastic covers which are scratched just by walking by them. |

The front bumper is actually pretty low on many 18-wheelers, and trailers are required to have a bar (not sure if you can really call it a bumper) to prevent regular cars from running up underneath them. |
