Teal Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 In the last one, you see the passenger smack his head cracking the window... suspect they'll be a few claims going against the council for this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 They shouldn't have to do that. Only selfish idiots drive in the bus lanes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I enjoyed that video, watching morons trying to beat the system. I would imagin that the emerging bollard wouldn't be too forgiving on the chassis of a car being, even if it was only travelling at a crawl.

jonno 357 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Brilliant. The one way system in Manchester is a nightmare. Is that Deangates ? Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 The bollards sure take a beating! They showed these bollards on 5th Gear and drove a 7.5 ton truck into them. Mind you these were slightly more 'beefy' but it totalled the truck! I just hope the baby was alright in the lexus! but stupidly enough, each and every one of them had try to fool the bollards by racing through after another vehicle. I wonder what the driver of the white van said to his boss when he had to explain that away.... :( Check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1w1p1raBrc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 I know someone who tried this and the girl in the back of the car (not wearing a seatbelt of course) hit her face on the seat in front and bit though her lip - ouch! Still they probably never tried it again.. The bollard came up through the front valence and into the gearbox of their car and was enough for it to be written off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno 357 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Look closely at the guy in the dark jacket consoling the lexus driver after the bump. I reckon he went over to him and lifted his wallet Looks like a well trained Manc :( Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il cacciatore Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 It might be an optical illusion but there appears to be more than a cars width next to the bollards closest to the camera, enough to fit a car through... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
