I think what he meant this video was crazy. God Bless America for not having bollards. Or, he could just be an idiot.

I work in insurance (for my sins) and this happens all the time. I get the hear some great excuses from drivers who have tailgated buses, wrecked their cars and caused damage to the bollard.

Guest: netrex (340 days ago)

Good for them. Shouldn't be allowed to drive :P

Guest (366 days ago)

fyi, these are in Manchester, next to the old corn exchange, they are signposted really clearly and since this video has been online I've not sdeen anyone else trying it. They should play this on the giant screen next to them in exchange square!

Guest: Guest (484 days ago)

Far worse try explaining that one to the insurence company...

Guest (68 days ago)

Its in manchester, England not America and you used to be able to drive down them streets thats why alot of motorists didnt know they were there

Guest: Kuroi Kyo (103 days ago)

1. It's in the UK. 2. The bollards are to stop the general public venturing down a bus/delivery lorry only route. 3. It's a black Mercedes (a car for monied twats)not a Land Rover. 4. People who cannot read the warning signs or pay attention to the road ahead deserve everything they get. 5. I laugh at the fools with low IQ. It's a pity they pollute the gene pool though.

1. Guest: buggeroff (138 days ago)

Fu**ing incredibly stupid brits. God damn they should kill themselves for being this dumb. Typical brit. have another pint you wankers.

shut it u prick.

Guest: Pete Star (409 days ago)

Big Baz - there is no control room. They are controlled by sensors on the vehicles that are permitted to use the streets. Only a total dickhead would believe that a person is controlling them and trying to trash people's vehicles.

The people who run these things are idiots, but the bigger idiots are the ones who installed these in the first place. How many people have died because of these? What if someone has a heart attack and needs to get to the hospital? By the time an ambulance arrives, the victim could be dead. Its fine to have turnpikes; they are built to shatter upon impact instead of decapitating the driver. These should be built the same. Americans are always being criticized for building unsafe cars, but at least we don't put steel barricades in the middle of our roads!

Guest: Sir Les Paterson (434 days ago)

First I was amazed that these things existed. Then that any town should need them. But what amazed me most was that someone would be so desperate to drive down that street that they'd risk wrecking their vehicle???

Info: The rising bollards at St Mary's Gate have had their ups and downs since their installation in June 2006. This area was revealed as a city centre accident hotspot early in 2006. So the bollards were fitted and cars were banished from St Mary's Gate, with only the clever little metro buses fitted with electronic sensors being allowed to pass through. The bollards detect the sensors in front of the buses, and disappear into the ground to let the buses pass.
