I get the same thing with my car. No bug splats on the front bumper and windshield except for the occasional big beetle. Also a greatly reduced accumulation of dirt, grime, and salt from road spray thrown up by vehicles driving ahead of me on a wet road.
To reduce the possibility of cranial damage in a collision between a human and a car with a sloped nose, just cover the hood with a soft, flexible material similar to that on today's dashboards, which was done to prevent similar cranial damage to the front seat occupants by impact with the metal dashboards found on older cars.
