Brush guard

California highway patrol calls it a push bar

Thanks y'all

I have no idea what we call it in my country

All of the above. Also Grille Guard.

That is strictly a brush guard or grill guard. It is not a push bar.
A push bar has two padded vertical bars placed about 18 inches or half meter apart. The bars are shaped similar to the ones in the picture, but protrude further forward and are padded and built much stronger. A push bar Will not be attached to a brush guard, but a brush guard may be attached to a push bar. It's all due to attachment points, and equipment strength.

We call it "mata-vacas" (cow-killers)!

Ignore the previous posts.

Clearly that vehicle has impaired vision and what's worse is that it's gone and lost the lenses out of its spectacles.

We call it illegal add-on these days. Too dangerous for pedastrians they say.
