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.

Hey Uncle Sam, it's not American!! Notice buses have doors on left and all cars have steering wheels on right, plus all reg plates are british. America doesn't have a monopoly on stupidity.

I'd buy my motorcycle and ride right through.

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!

No, you just shoot your allies, alienate the rest of the worlds population, use up the worlds oil supplies in your big engined cars whilst eating incredible amounts of junk food you loud mouthed, self opinionated, burger eating surrender monkeys

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!

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.

Guest (342 days ago)

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

Guest: Uncle Sam (177 days ago)

Guest: Jimmy (733 days ago)

That is one of the funniest things I've seen. Imagine explaining that to your boss after using the work van.

Guest (210 days ago)

How dangerous are those silly bars? I hope they get rid of them.

Guest: netrex (482 days ago)

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

Guest: Seb (544 days ago)

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 (401 days ago)

Never gets old.

Guest: Pete Star (551 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.

Guest: Sir Les Paterson (576 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???
