Video - Bollards! Cars 'spiked' by city centre trap

Post by Mike Channin »

The famous 'rising bollards' that were originally trialled in Cambridge have now been fitted in Manchester too, but this time they have video of what happens when smartar$e drivers try to tailgate the buses through... Very amusing

Any ideas how to link directly?

Hilarious!

I like the final driver who goes charging up to them... WHACK!!! And then goes rushing out and round (the rear??? why??? ) to look at the damage while tearing his hair out! Priceless! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I fixed your link. You need to find a link in the console and then copy that, not the original link since that is the "no javascript" page.

I like the rising bollards. We have one in Cambridge.

I love the guy who runs round the back of his car too!
